Rapido's LNWR D90 4-Plank Open Wagon in LMS Bauxite Livery

Rapido has recently released a new model of the LNWR Dia.90 Loco Coal wagon, specifically No. 256069 in LMS bauxite livery. This model is a high-quality representation of a standard LNWR 4-plank open wagon, built to the company's Dia.90 design.

The model features a number of accurate details, including square headstocks and a body with overlapping diagonal and an extra door strip. The brake handle is depicted as short, and the buffers are of the 2-rib variety. The axleboxes are flat-fronted and the wheels are split-spoke, running in metal bearings.

The level of detail on the model extends to both above and below the floor line, making it a highly detailed representation of the real thing. The livery application is also of high quality, accurately depicting the LMS bauxite colours. The model is designed to be compatible with NEM coupler pockets, making it easy to link up with other models.

The model is produced in OO gauge, specifically to 1:76 scale. This makes it suitable for use with a wide range of British outline railways, from the late steam era to the post-war period.
