The Rapido LNER J52/2 No.1228 L&NER Black with Red Lining model is a OO gauge model representing a locomotive of the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) during the Big Four period. This locomotive is part of the Rapido J52 collection.

The model is based on No.1228, a locomotive with a lined black livery featuring red lining. The model accurately features a cast tapered chimney, Ramsbottom-type safety valves, a tall dome, parallel buffers, a pole-type front step, and three handrail knobs.

The locomotive's details include an open bunker coal rail, a can motor, flywheel, plunger pickups, and sprung buffers. The cab interior is also highly detailed, with a firebox glow effect. The model is factory-fitted with a speaker and features a Next18 decoder socket for DCC sound operation. Optional scale couplings are also available.
