Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van is a model representing a preserved Southern Railway van. It is part of the Rapido range of LB&SCR Dia.8 Vans. The model is to OO gauge and scales at 1:76.

The van is designed to represent the period of the Big Four railway companies, specifically the Southern Railway, during the mid-20th century. The model features a high level of detail above and below the floor line, including wooden door stops and side steps. The wheels are 8-spoke and run on metal bearings.

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van is an unfitted model, meaning it does not have a bogie or gearboxes. It features double-sided brakes with double V-hangers, and has NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other model railway stock. The model is finished with a high-quality livery application in Southern Railway brown, as worn by preserved vans on the Isle of Wight prior to 1936.
