Model details

The Rapido GWR 'Open C' locomotive is modelled as No D3 in PLA livery with the distinctive 'Open C' design. This OO gauge model represents a locomotive from the Big Four period, a time when the railways of the UK were operated by four main companies: the Great Western Railway, the London Midland and Scottish Railway, the London and North Eastern Railway, and the Southern Railway.

The model is part of the Rapido 'Open C' collection and features a flat door as well as separately fitted tie-down hoops. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings, providing a smooth and realistic operation. The model boasts a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, and features NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other rolling stock.

The model is available in 1:76 scale, specifically designed for OO gauge layouts, and is a faithful representation of a locomotive from the Big Four period.
