Model details

The Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van, specifically BR No. S46680, is a model train item. It is designed for OO gauge, which is a British standard for model trains.

The model represents a vehicle from the British Railways Early Crest period. It is part of the Rapido LB&SCR Dia.8 Van collection, which offers a range of models based on this design.

The LBSC Diagram 8 Van was a real vehicle that featured double-sided brakes with double V-hangers. This model is unfitted, meaning it does not have a mechanical underframe for carrying freight. The model's wheels are 8-spoke and run in metal bearings.

The model features wooden door stops and a high level of detail, both above and below the floor line. The livery application is of high quality. The model's couplings are NEM type, allowing it to be easily connected to other model trains. The model is scaled at 1:76, which is the standard scale for OO gauge models.
