Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van, specifically No. 8145, is a model of a railway vehicle from the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSCR) fleet, produced in OO gauge. This model is part of the Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van collection and represents a vehicle from the pre-grouping period.

The LBSCR Diagram 8 Van, as depicted in the model, features single-sided brakes with double V-hangers and is unfitted, meaning it does not have a guard's compartment. The vehicle is equipped with 9-spoke wheels that run in metal bearings, adding to the model's authenticity.

The model boasts a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line, and features a high-quality livery application. It is designed to be compatible with other OO gauge models, with NEM coupler pockets allowing for easy connection to other rolling stock.

This model is available in 1:76 scale, making it a highly detailed representation of the LBSCR Diagram 8 Van.
