The Rapido Diagram Y4 Banana Van is a model of a specific type of goods wagon used by the Great Western Railway (GWR). This model is part of the Rapido GWR Y4 Banana Van collection, which represents the Big Four period in British railway history, spanning from the 1920s to the 1940s.

The model is based on GWR No.95249, a standard gauge wagon used during this period. It features a characteristic Y4 banana van design, with a grey livery and the GWR logo prominently displayed in 16 inch letters.

In terms of detailing, the model includes a banana van door with end shutters and a short rainstrip, adding to its authenticity. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings, while the level of detail extends above and below the floor line. The model is also designed to accommodate NEM coupler pockets, allowing it to be coupled to other compatible locomotives and rolling stock.

The model is manufactured in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge railway layouts.
