Model details

The Rapido Shaka Salt No.119 is a model of a salt van, designed for OO gauge modelling. The model is part of Rapido's RCH 1907 Salt Van collection, which focuses on the Big Four railway companies that existed in the UK from 1923 to 1948.

The model is based on the RCH 1907 specification for a peaked-roof salt van, and features several accurate details. These include Ellis grease axleboxes, twin-sided brakes, angled V hangers, and ribbed buffers. The wheels are split-spoke and run in metal bearings, providing a high level of authenticity.

In addition to the underframe details, the model features a high level of detail above the floor line, including a realistic interior. The livery application is of high quality, allowing modellers to accurately depict the appearance of the real-life vans. The model also features NEM coupler pockets, making it easy to connect to other OO gauge rolling stock. The model is scaled at 1:76, making it suitable for use on OO gauge model railways.
