Rapido's Van GWR No.28839 is a model in OO gauge representing a typical van used by the Great Western Railway during the Big Four era, which spanned from 1923 to 1948. This model is part of Rapido's GWR Mink A collection.

The model depicts an unfitted van, meaning it did not have a full set of equipment for carrying goods. The van features GW grey post-1936 lettering and a vertical planked door. A long rainstrip is also present, which was a common feature on many GWR wagons. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings for added realism.

The model boasts a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, which is typical of Rapido's commitment to accuracy. The model is designed to be used with NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling with other OO gauge models. This van is modelled in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for use with OO gauge track and rolling stock.
