Rapido's GCR 15T 6w Brake Van in GC Grey

Rapido has released a new 15-tonne brake van in the livery of the Great Central Railway, specifically No. 35706. This unfitted van is designed to replicate the look of the real thing, with a high level of detail both above and below the floor line.

One notable feature of this model is the use of GCR style axleboxes, which adds to the authenticity of the vehicle. The round base buffers are also a nice touch, as are the spoked wheels running in metal bearings, which will provide a smooth and realistic running experience.

The model is finished in a high-quality representation of the GCR grey livery, with a level of detail that is sure to please modellers. The NEM coupler pockets will make it easy to couple and uncouple the van to other locomotives and wagons.

This model is available in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge modelling. With its high level of detail and accurate representation of the GCR's brake vans, this model is a must-have for any serious modeller of the period.
