Model details

Rapido A. Cant & Sons No.18 OO Gauge Salt Van

The Rapido A. Cant & Sons No.18 is a model of a salt van, specifically the RCH 1907 Spec Peaked-Roof Salt Van. This model is part of Rapido's RCH 1907 Salt Van collection.

The van is designed for OO gauge models, with a scale of 1:76. It is intended to represent the Big Four era, which spanned the period of the four major railway companies in the UK: the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), the Great Western Railway (GWR), the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), and the Southern Railway (SR).

The model features a peaked roof and a number of detailed components, including split oil axleboxes, twin-sided brakes, angled V hangers, and ribbed buffers. The wheels are designed with split-spoke wheels running in metal bearings. The model also includes NEM coupler pockets for easy integration with other OO gauge models.

The level of detail on the model extends both above and below the floor line, and the livery application is of high quality.
