Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van SR departmental No.1984S is a model railway vehicle designed for OO gauge model railways. This model represents a vehicle from the Southern Railway's fleet of departmental vans, specifically No. 1984S, which was liveried in the standard Southern Railway brown scheme adopted after 1936.

The model features a high level of detail, including double-sided brakes with double V-hangers, wooden door stops, and metal bearings for the 8-spoke wheels. The vehicle is unfitted, meaning it does not have a bogie or any mechanical systems beneath the floor. The NEM coupler pockets allow for easy coupling and uncoupling of the model with other vehicles.

This model is part of the Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van collection, which represents the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway's (LBSCR) Dia.8 van design. The model is suitable for model railways depicting the Big Four era, which spanned from the 1923 grouping to the nationalisation of British Railways in 1948.
