Prototype information

The Rapido LMS D1832A Van is a model railway item produced by Rapido, designed to represent a specific type of van used during the Big Four era of British railways. This era, which spanned from the 1920s to the 1940s, featured the major railway companies including the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), Great Western Railway (GWR), and Southern Railway (SR).

The model in question is the LMS Dia.1832A 12t Van, specifically numbered 172239. It is a representation of a type of van that was used for carrying goods, with characteristics such as roof ventilators, 2-shoe unfitted brakes, and through pipes. The model features axleboxes typical of the LNER, split-spoke wheels running in metal bearings, and a high level of detail both above and below the floor line.

The van is painted in LMS Grey livery and features a high-quality livery application. The model is designed for OO gauge, with a scale of 1:76. It includes NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling to other model trains.
