Rapido's OO gauge model of the Andrew Barclay 0-4-0 'Caledonia' Fireless locomotive is designed to represent a locomotive from British Railways' Late Crest era.

The model is part of the 'Caledonia' Fireless collection and is based on the real-life locomotive Works No. 1982, which was owned by Bowaters (Ellesmere Port) as No. 1.

The model features a number of authentic details, including angled reservoir supports and late-style buffer guides. The reducing valve is also accurately represented. The locomotive is constructed from a combination of die-cast metal and injection moulded plastic.

The model is equipped with a high-quality motor and mechanism, and an E24 decoder socket is provided for DCC sound operation. A high level of detail is achieved through the use of separately fitted parts, and the model is compatible with NEM 363 couplers.

Optional user-fitted parts are available, including cab window shutters, doors, and lamps, allowing modellers to customise their model to their preference. The model is designed to operate on OO gauge track.
