Rapido GCR 15T 6w Brake - BR Bauxite No. 531725

Rapido's latest release is the GCR 15T 6w Brake Van in BR bauxite livery, numbered 531725. This model is a faithful representation of the standard 15T brake vans used by the Great Central Railway.

One of the notable features of this model is its vacuum-fitted braking system, a characteristic of many vans of this era. The model also boasts LNER-style axleboxes, adding to its authentic look. The detail is not limited to the bogies, as the square base buffers and spoked wheels running in metal bearings are also meticulously replicated.

The level of detail on this model extends beyond the bogies, with a high level of detail included above and below the floor line. The livery application is of a high quality, ensuring a realistic finish. In addition, the model features NEM coupler pockets, allowing for easy and secure coupling and uncoupling of the model.

This model is available in 1:76 scale, suitable for OO gauge layouts.
