Prototype information

The Rapido LNWR D17b Brake model represents a LMS (London, Midland and Scottish Railway) brake van, specifically LMS Bauxite No.148236. This model is part of Rapido's collection of LNWR Dia.17b Brake vans.

The model is designed for OO gauge and is scaled at 1:76. Key features include spoked wheels running on metal bearings, a high level of detail above and below the floor line, and a high quality livery application.

Notable modifications to the model include the removal of the veranda glass and doors, giving it a more realistic appearance. The model also features NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling with other OO gauge rolling stock.

The Rapido LNWR D17b Brake model is representative of the Big Four period, which spanned from the 1923 grouping of the railways until the nationalisation of the railways in 1948.
