Rapido's MR 483 Midland Railway Crimson locomotive is a OO gauge model. It is fitted with a DCC sound system, allowing for realistic sound effects to be played through the locomotive's built-in speaker.

The model represents a locomotive from the pre-grouping era, specifically designed to resemble a Midland Railway engine. It features a range of details, including a capuchon chimney, a tall dome, Ramsbottom safety valves, and a superheater damper. The model's body is styled as it appeared after rebuilding, with an oval valve seat and a flush smokebox.

The locomotive's bogie is also modelled as it would have appeared after rebuilding, with a square tender water dome. It features a 21-pin decoder socket, allowing owners to upgrade the locomotive with additional sound or control options. The model includes sprung buffers and NEM coupling pockets for safe and secure coupling with other rolling stock.

The locomotive's mechanism is designed to be smooth and powerful, providing a realistic driving experience. It is also fitted with a range of separately applied parts, adding to the model's level of detail and realism.
