Model details

Prototype information

The Rapido LNWR D17b Brake is a model of a British Railways-era brake van, produced by Rapido in OO gauge. This model is part of the company's Dia.17b Brake collection, which recreates a specific type of brake van used by the London and North Western Railway and its successors.

The model is based on a Longmoor Military Railway vehicle, specifically No. AD49025, and has been modified to reflect its original appearance. The veranda glass and doors have been removed, giving the model a more accurate representation of the era. The wheels are equipped with spoked axles and run on metal bearings, while the model features intricate detail above and below the floor line.

The Rapido model boasts a high-quality livery application, with a faithful representation of the British Railways Early Crest design. The model is designed for OO gauge, which corresponds to a scale of 1:76. It also features NEM coupler pockets for easy connection to other locomotives and rolling stock.
