Model details

Prototype information

This model is part of the Rapido GWR O18 range, specifically designed to represent a BR No.90753 open wagon in OO gauge. It is intended for use on British Railways Early Crest era layouts, which spanned a period of time from the nationalisation of the railways in 1948 to the introduction of the BR crest.

The model is an unfitted open wagon, which means that it is designed to be used on non-electrified lines, as it does not have any electrical equipment. It is painted in the standard BR(W) grey livery, which was used by the Western Region of British Railways. The wheels feature a spoked design and are made to run in metal bearings for smooth operation.

The model is designed to be highly detailed, with intricate features visible above and below the floor line. It is supplied with parts for the modeller to attach the sheet rail in either the operational or stowed position, allowing for added flexibility. The model also features NEM coupler pockets, which are designed to be compatible with a wide range of coupling systems. It is constructed to a scale of 1:76, which is the standard scale for OO gauge models. The model is a UK-designed product, ensuring that it meets the needs and preferences of British modellers.
