Prototype information

Rapido's GCR 15T 6w Brake

Rapido has released a new model of the Great Central Railway 15T 6-wheel brake van, specifically designed to represent those in LNER oxide livery post-1936. The model, numbered 531772, is an accurate representation of an unfitted brake van, as used for carrying goods without the benefit of a tare weight.

The model features LNER style axleboxes and square base buffers, giving it a high level of authenticity. The spoked wheels run on metal bearings, ensuring smooth running and durability. The level of detail on the model is exceptional, with intricate features visible both above and below the floor line.

The high-quality livery application is a hallmark of Rapido's models, and this is no exception. The oxide livery has been carefully replicated to ensure an accurate and authentic finish. The model is also equipped with NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy coupling and uncoupling with other model trains.

The model is designed to run in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge model railways.
