Prototype information

Rapido's LNWR D90 4-Plank Open Wagon

Rapido has released a new model of the LNWR Dia.90 4-plank open wagon in 1:76 scale, specifically in LMS grey livery as it appeared prior to 1936. This model, numbered 248000, is a representation of a type of wagon used for carrying coal.

The model features incurved headstocks, a characteristic of the Dia.90 design. The body of the wagon has flush diagonals, which is a distinctive feature of this type of wagon, and it also lacks a door strip. The long brake handle is accurately depicted, as are the 2-rib buffers at the front of the wagon.

The axleboxes on this model are bulbous in shape, and the wheels are split-spoke, running on metal bearings. This level of detail extends to the underside of the floor line, where the manufacturer has included a high level of detailing. The livery application is of high quality, with accurate representation of the LMS grey colour scheme.

Other features of the model include NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling of the wagon. The model is designed for OO gauge, making it compatible with standard British N gauge track and points.

Overall, this model appears to be a highly detailed and accurate representation of the LNWR Dia.90 4-plank open wagon, suitable for railway modellers looking to add this type of wagon to their collection.
