Prototype information

The Rapido Dia.88 10T Van in LNWR Grey livery is a model railway item representing a specific type of freight van used by the London North Western Railway (LNWR) before the grouping of railway companies in 1923. The model is part of the Dia.88 10T Van collection.

This particular model, numbered 31132, features the characteristic LNWR freight grey livery with lettering. It also includes several detailed features, such as incurved headstocks, an iron roof, and 1-rib buffers, which are accurate representations of the original vans.

The model's doors are represented as being horizontally planked with diagonal straps, and the axleboxes are bulbous in design. The wheels are split-spoke and made of metal, with bearings to match. The brake gear is intricately detailed, and the model has NEM pockets for easy coupling to other rolling stock.

The Rapido Dia.88 10T Van model also features a range of separately fitted parts, allowing for a high level of customisation and realism.
