Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido Diagram O18 model is a representation of the GWR No.98000, a 0-8-0 steam locomotive. This model is part of the Rapido GWR O18 collection, which focuses on the Great Western Railway's O18 class of locomotives.

The model is designed for OO gauge, which is the most popular scale for model railways in the UK. It is supplied with a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, to provide a realistic representation of the locomotive. The model features spoked wheels and metal bearings, which are designed to provide smooth operation.

The locomotive is unfitted, meaning it does not have any tender or tank, and is designed to be used with a separate tender or tank car. It is supplied with parts to attach the optional sheet rail in either operational or stowed position. The model is designed to fit the NEM coupler standard, which makes it easy to couple and uncouple the locomotive from other rolling stock.

The model is designed to represent the Great Western Railway's post-1942 lettering style, giving it a distinctive look. It is a 1:76 scale model, which is the correct scale for OO gauge. The model is designed and manufactured in the UK, making it a good option for modellers looking for a British-designed product.
