Model details

Prototype information

Rapido's OO gauge GER Dia.48 7-plank model represents a wagon from the Big Four era, specifically the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) in its pre-1936 livery. The model is part of the larger GER Dia.48 7-plank collection.

The model features a GER Dia.48 7-plank open wagon with characteristic low diagonal braces. It is equipped with single-sided 2-shoe brakes that include an open ratchet and J safety loops. The Monarch door mechanism is also featured, along with ribbed buffer housings and LNER B1 axleboxes.

The GER split-spoke wheels are designed to run on metal bearings, adding to the model's operational authenticity. The level of detail is high, extending above and below the floor line. The livery application is of high quality, accurately representing the LNER's pre-1936 grey colour scheme. The model is designed for OO gauge and 1:76 scale, with NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other rolling stock.
