Prototype information

Rapido's GCR 15T 6w Brake Van, Model Number A11, is a detailed and accurate representation of a NCB Durham Division Harton Unit. This model is a GCR 15T Brake Van, designed to operate in the 00 gauge scale.

The model features a NCB red livery, accurately capturing the distinctive colour scheme of the National Coal Board's rolling stock. The model is unfitted, meaning it does not have any mechanical equipment for carrying goods, and is designed for carrying crew and equipment.

The wheels are a notable feature of this model, with disc wheels running in metal bearings. This adds a level of realism and accuracy to the model, as metal bearings were used in the early 20th century to reduce wear on the wheels.

The level of detail on this model is high, with intricate details visible above and below the floor line. The model's quality is further enhanced by a high-quality livery application, ensuring a realistic finish.

The model includes NEM coupler pockets, allowing easy connection to other 00 gauge rolling stock. The square base buffers are also a feature of this model, adding to its authenticity.

The Rapido GCR 15T 6w Brake Van is a detailed and accurate representation of a NCB Durham Division Harton Unit, making it a great addition to any 00 gauge railway layout. The model is a 1:76 scale representation of a GCR 15T Brake Van, designed to operate in the 00 gauge scale.
