The Rapido SR U Class No.1638 model represents the Southern Railway 'U' Class 2-6-0 locomotive in SR Olive Green livery. This model is part of the Rapido U Class collection, which covers the Big Four period of railway operation in the UK.

The model is built to a high standard, with a smooth and powerful mechanism and highly detailed features such as a flat fronted cylinder, flat dome, and snifting valves. It also features a dynamic firebox flicker and a 21-pin DCC decoder socket for easy installation of a digital command control system.

The model is built to 1:76 scale, making it suitable for OO gauge model railways. It can operate on curves as tight as 2nd radius (438mm or greater) and features factory-fitted speakers, sprung buffers, and MoPower stay-alive capacitors for a realistic and reliable performance.

The model's paint finish is of museum quality, and it includes NEM coupler pockets for easy coupling with other locomotives and rolling stock. The Rapido SR U Class No.1638 is a highly detailed and authentic representation of the real locomotive, making it a great addition to any OO gauge model railway layout.
