Prototype information

The Rapido LNWR D17b Brake is a model railway vehicle designed for the OO gauge. It represents a locomotive brake van from the Big Four era, which spanned the 1920s to the 1940s.

The model is part of the Rapido LNWR Dia.17b Brake collection and is specifically modelled on an LMS Bauxite No.130894. This particular vehicle features a distinctive design with a veranda removed, giving it a more streamlined appearance. Furthermore, the model's wheels are designed with spoked axles and run on metal bearings, adding to its authentic feel.

The model boasts a high level of detail, with intricate features visible both above and below the floor line. The livery has been applied to a high standard, accurately capturing the look of a 1940s-era locomotive brake van. The model is designed with NEM coupler pockets, allowing it to be easily coupled to other trains.

The model is manufactured to a scale of 1:76, which is equivalent to OO gauge. This makes it suitable for use on many British model railway layouts.
