Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido GCR 15T 6w Brake is a detailed model of a classic BR freight wagon. The model represents a GCR 15T brake van in the LNER freight oxide livery, bearing the number E531771.

The model is an unfitted wagon, meaning it does not feature any form of vacuum or air braking equipment. The axleboxes are of BR style, a design feature which was typical of many British Rail wagons from the 1950s onwards.

The model features square base buffers, a detail which adds to its accuracy and authenticity. The wheels are disc type, running in metal bearings for smooth operation. The level of detail on the model extends above and below the floor line, giving a highly realistic appearance.

The livery application is of high quality, accurately depicting the BR oxide livery as worn by the GCR's wagons during their time in British Rail colours. The model is designed to be coupled to other wagons using NEM coupler pockets.

The Rapido GCR 15T 6w Brake is available in 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge model railways.
