Prototype information

Rapido's LB&SCR Dia.8 Van is a model railway item that represents a vehicle from the Southern Railway era.

The model is designed to be used in OO gauge model railways and depicts a vehicle from the Big Four period, which includes the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, Great Western Railway, London and North Eastern Railway, and Southern Railway.

This model is part of the Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van collection, which aims to recreate a specific type of van used by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway.

The model itself features a number of authentic details, including double-sided brakes with double V-hangers, through-piped design, and 8-spoke wheels running in metal bearings.

Other details include side steps, wooden door stops, and a high level of detail above and below the floor line. The livery application is of high quality, with the model representing Southern Railway brown livery, as worn by Isle of Wight vehicles prior to 1936.

The model has NEM coupler pockets and is designed to be used as a part of OO gauge model railway layouts. It is available in 1:76 scale.
