Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van, specifically the Southern Railway (pre-1936) version numbered 46293, is a model railway item produced by Rapido.

The model is designed to represent the Big Four era, which spanned from the 1923 grouping of railway companies until nationalisation in 1948, and encompasses the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, Great Western Railway, and Southern Railway.

The van is part of the LB&SCR Dia.8 Van collection and is modelled on the LBSC Diagram 8 Van.

Key features of the model include double-sided brakes with double V-hangers, the absence of a brake van, 9-spoke wheels running in metal bearings, and wooden door stops.

The van is designed to a high level of detail, with intricate features visible above and below the floor line. The livery application is of a high quality, accurately depicting the Southern Railway's pre-1936 brown livery.

The model is designed for OO gauge, with a scale of 1:76. It features NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other rolling stock.
