Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido Diagram O15 is a model of a 10t vacuum-fitted open wagon, specifically the GWR No.15852. This model is part of the Rapido GWR 5 Plank Open collection and is designed to represent the Great Western Railway (GWR) during the Big Four era, which spanned from the 1923 grouping to the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.

The model is designed to be accurate to the period after 1936, with GW grey post-1936 lettering. It features a high level of detail above and below the floor line, including spoked wheels running in metal bearings. The model is designed to be compatible with OO gauge track and has NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling to other rolling stock.

One notable feature of this model is the inclusion of parts for the modeller to attach the optional sheet rail in either an operational or stowed position. This allows the model to be customised to suit the modeller's preference. The model is supplied in 1:76 scale, which is equivalent to OO gauge.
