Rapido LNER C12 Tank No 4502 is a 1 : 76 scale (OO gauge) model of the former LNER 4‑4‑2 tank locomotive. The model is supplied with DCC sound capability and carries the manufacturer part number 989506.

The locomotive is finished in the Lined Black livery and includes a short chimney, dome, Ross Pop safety valves, round‑edged tank, parallel buffers and a plain smokebox door. Detail variations are offered across the range, such as different chimney and dome styles, safety‑valve types, tank‑corner shapes and coal‑rail designs.

Key technical features include an ESU E24 DCC decoder socket, factory‑fitted speakers, MoPower stay‑alive capacitors, dynamic firebox flicker with fire‑draw effect, sprung buffers, NEM 363 coupler pockets at the front and NEM 362 at the rear, and a smooth, powerful running mechanism suitable for second‑radius curves of 438 mm or greater.

The model represents a locomotive built between 1898 and 1907 for the Great Northern Railway, later re‑classified as LNER C12 after the 1923 grouping. It is intended for collectors and model railway operators desiring a highly detailed, operational replica of this historic tank engine.
