The Rapido MR 483 locomotive model number 482 is a OO gauge model representing a locomotive from the LMS railway during the Big Four period. This model is part of the Rapido MR 483 collection and features the LMS early crimson livery with lettering on the cab.

Key features of this model include a capuchon chimney, tall dome, and Ramsbottom safety valves, all of which are characteristic of a locomotive as rebuilt. The model also boasts a rivetted smokebox and as rebuilt bogie, adding to its authenticity. The tender features a round water dome, while the locomotive's buffers are sprung and the coupling pockets are designed to NEM standards.

Electrical features include a 21-pin decoder socket and a factory-fitted speaker, allowing for DCC sound to be used with the model. The mechanism is described as smooth and powerful, and the model also benefits from a large number of separately fitted parts for added detail.
