Rapido's OO gauge model of Firestone Tyres wagon No 2004 is part of the RCH 1907 Private Owners collection. This model represents a pre-grouping era wagon, specifically a 7-plank wagon with end and side doors. The model features a high level of detail, including Ellis grease axleboxes, twin-sided brakes, and split-spoke wheels running in metal bearings.

The model is built to a high standard, with a high-quality livery application and detailed features above and below the floor line. The model also includes NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling with other OO gauge models. The wagon is depicted in the livery of Firestone Tyres, a fitting choice given the company's history in the UK. The model is suitable for OO gauge layouts, and its pre-grouping era setting makes it a useful addition for those modelling this period.
