The Rapido model of the GNoSR F Class locomotive, specifically No. 62273 "George Davidson", is a representation of a British Railways unlined black locomotive from the early days of the nationalised railway system.

The model is part of Rapido's LNER D40 collection, which focuses on the locomotives of the London and North Eastern Railway during the British Railways era. The GNoSR F Class, also known as the LNER D40, was a type of locomotive used in Scotland.

Key features of the model include a NBR-style smokebox door, square running plate valance, and Ross pop safety valves. The tender is equipped with late-style springs and dampers, and the locomotive is fitted with Westinghouse and vacuum brakes. The model is designed to operate on curves with a radius of 438mm or greater.

The model features a dynamic firebox flicker, a 21-pin DCC decoder socket, MoPower stay-alive capacitors, and factory-fitted speakers. The locomotive also has sprung buffers, a museum-quality paint finish, and a smooth and powerful mechanism. The model is highly detailed and features NEM coupler pockets, making it suitable for operation on OO gauge track.
