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

Rapido has released a new model of a GCR 15T Brake Van in BR Grey livery, specifically No. E535650. This model is designed to be representative of the real-life vehicles that were used by the Great Central Railway during its operational years.

The model features a number of authentic details, including LNER style axleboxes and square base buffers. The spoked wheels are designed to run in metal bearings, adding to the overall realism of the model. The level of detail on the model is high, with intricate details above and below the floor line.

The model is suitable for OO gauge model railways, with a scale of 1:76. It is unfitted, which means that it does not feature any lighting or electrical equipment. The model features NEM coupler pockets, making it easy to connect to other compatible models.

The livery application on the model is of a high quality, accurately depicting the BR Grey colour scheme. This model is a useful addition to any model railway layout that features the GCR or the period in which the model is set, which includes the years following the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.
