Model details

Rapido's GCR 15T Brake Van in CLC Grey

Rapido has released a new addition to their range of model railway wagons, the GCR 15T Brake Van in CLC grey livery, specifically modelled on the early version of this type of vehicle. This model is designed to accurately replicate the real-life GCR 15T Brake Van, with a focus on detail and authenticity.

The model is an unfitted van, meaning it does not have a vacuum brake system, and features GCR-style axleboxes and square base buffers. The wheels are spoked and run on metal bearings, adding to the model's overall realism. The level of detail on the model is high, with intricate work above and below the floor line.

The livery application is of high quality, with a accurate representation of the CLC grey colours. The model is designed to be used in conjunction with other models, and features NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling and uncoupling.

The model is designed in 1:76 scale, which is equivalent to OO gauge, making it suitable for use on standard gauge model railway layouts. With its attention to detail and accurate representation of the real-life GCR 15T Brake Van, this model is a great addition to any model railway collection.
