Prototype information

The Rapido GWR 'Open C' model No.94901 represents a typical example of the O19 'Open C' vehicle in Great Western Railway (GWR) livery. This model is part of the Rapido GWR 'Open C' collection, which aims to capture the essence of the Big Four railway era, spanning the period from the 1920s to the 1940s.

This specific model is accurately depicted in GW grey with post-42 lettering, which reflects the distinctive colour scheme and typography of the GWR during this period. The model features a sack truck door, separately fitted tie-down hoops, and spoked wheels running on metal bearings, all of which contribute to a high level of detail.

The model is designed to be compatible with OO gauge track and features NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling and decoupling. It is available in 1:76 scale, making it an ideal choice for model railway enthusiasts who wish to recreate the GWR's O19 'Open C' vehicles in their layouts.
