Rapido's OO gauge LNER J52/2 locomotive, modelled as No.4226 in LNER lined black livery, is part of the company's J52 collection. This model represents a locomotive from the Big Four period, which spanned the 1920s to 1940s and included the London, Midland and Scottish, Great Western, and Southern railways.

Key features of the model include a tapered chimney, Ramsbottom-type safety valves, a tall dome, and tapered buffers. The locomotive also features a pole-type front step, three handrail knobs, and open bunker coal rails. The model has a can motor, flywheel, and plunger pickups for smooth operation.

The model's chassis features a diecast block and a Next18 decoder socket for easy DCC upgrade. The locomotive's cab is detailed, with a firebox glow effect and a factory-fitted speaker for added authenticity. The model also comes with optional scale couplings for easier couplings with other rolling stock.

This OO gauge model is designed to be DCC ready, allowing modellers to easily add a decoder for digital control. The Rapido J52/2 locomotive, modelled as No.4226, is a detailed and accurate representation of a classic British locomotive from the Big Four period.
