The model is designed for OO gauge, with a scale of 1:76. It is part of the Rapido LMS Iron Ore Hopper collection, which aims to recreate the distinctive 20t hoppers used by the London Midland and Scottish Railway during the pre-nationalisation era.

The model features a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, and has disc wheels running on metal bearings for smooth operation. The buffer shanks are ribbed for added authenticity.

The model is equipped with NEM coupler pockets, making it compatible with a range of locomotives and rolling stock. The livery application is of high quality, ensuring a realistic representation of the BR Grey (Iron Ore) livery.
