Prototype information

The Rapido LNWR D17b Brake is a model of a British Railways-era brake van, specifically designed to represent the LNWR Dia 17b type.

This model is part of Rapido's collection of LNWR Dia 17b brake vans, and is available in OO gauge, which is equivalent to 1:76 scale.

The model features accurate details above and below the floor line, including spoked wheels running on metal bearings. The livery application is of high quality, and the model is designed to be compatible with NEM coupler pockets.

The model is based on the British Railways Early Crest period, which refers to the era from 1948 to the early 1950s. The model is available as both the LNWR Dia17b Brake Van and the National Coal Board Brake Van No.1, with the latter version featuring veranda glass and doors removed.
