Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido GWR 'Open C' model, specifically No. 94887, is a representation of a goods wagon from the Great Western Railway (GWR) fleet. This model is part of the 'Open C' collection, which aims to recreate the distinctive style of the GWR's open wagons.

The model is designed to be accurate for the Big Four era, a period characterised by the operation of the GWR, London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), and Southern Railway (SR) between 1923 and 1948. The model's livery is a faithful rendition of the GWR's grey paint scheme with 25-inch lettering.

The model features a detailed design, including a sack truck door and tie-down hoops that are separately fitted. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings, providing a smooth and authentic operation. The model also boasts a high level of detail both above and below the floor line, adding to its overall realism.

The model is designed for OO gauge, with a scale of 1:76. It features NEM (NEM) coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling with other compatible models.
