Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido CR Dia.67 10t Van represents a model of a railway wagon from the 1930s. It is part of the Rapido CR Dia.67 10t Van collection, which aims to recreate a range of wagons from this time period.

The model itself is designed to depict a LMS (London, Midland and Scottish Railway) Dia.67 10t van in its pre-1936 livery. The running number of the model is 308244. The model is designed for OO gauge, which is a popular scale in British model railways.

The model features a range of details to enhance its accuracy and realism. These include LMS axleboxes and short springs, as well as split-spoked wheels running in metal bearings. The model also features a high level of detail above and below the floor line, adding to its authenticity.

In terms of operational features, the model has single-sided Morton brakes and NEM coupler pockets. The model is designed to be used with UK-designed model railway systems and is available in 1:76 scale, which is commonly used for OO gauge models.

The model is intended to represent the Big Four era of British railways, which refers to the period from the 1920s to the 1940s when the four main railway companies in the UK - LNER, LMS, GWR, and SR - operated independently before nationalisation.
