The Rapido Diagram Y4 Banana Van GWR No.95665 is a model railway item designed for OO gauge enthusiasts. It represents a vehicle from the Great Western Railway (GWR) and is part of the Rapido GWR Y4 Banana Van collection.

The model is intended for use in layouts depicting the Big Four period, which spanned from the grouping of the four main railway companies in 1923 to their nationalisation in 1948. The model is specifically designed to represent the GWR No.95665, a particular example of the Y4 banana van type.

The model features a grey post-1942 livery, which is a key distinctive feature of the GWR's later years. The van's door is modelled with end shutters, and the rainstrip is short, both of which are accurate details for this type of vehicle. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings, adding to the model's level of realism. The model's high level of detail is evident in the intricate features above and below the floor line.

The model is designed to be compatible with OO gauge track and comes with NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other models. The scale of the model is 1:76, making it suitable for use with OO gauge model railways.
