00 GAUGE
After an initial announcement last November, Rapido Trains UK has now released full details of its forthcoming GWR ‘44XX’ 2 ‐ 6‐2T in ‘OO’ gauge. A host of variants will be available, covering everything from the very first livery carried by the class, up to the final BR scheme. To match the era of each livery, the tooling allows for small detail differences to be incorporated, such as early and late period buffers, inside and outside steam pipes, parallel and tapered chimneys, plus two different rivet patterns on the side tanks.
