Prototype information

The Rapido GER Dia.48 7-plank is a model of a GER Dia.48 7-plank open wagon, specifically designed to represent the LNER locomotive No. 0344. This model is part of Rapido's collection of GER Dia.48 7-plank wagons.

The model is designed for OO gauge, which is a popular scale for model railways in the UK. It is intended to represent the period of the Big Four railway companies, which operated from 1923 to 1948, including the LNER, LMS, GWR, and SR.

The model features a number of detailed components, including high diagonal braces, Morton 3-shoe brakes with covered ratchet and U safety loops, a Monarch door mechanism, and ribbed buffer housings. It also features LNER B1 axleboxes and GER split-spoke wheels running in metal bearings.

The model has a high level of detail both above and below the floor line, and the livery application is of high quality. The model is designed to be used with NEM coupler pockets, making it compatible with a range of coupling systems.

The model is available in 1:76 scale, which is equivalent to OO gauge.
