4mm RTR wagons

Another two new (March 2025) issues from Rapido, this time the N19 Loco Coal wagon and the O18 5-plank Open, both pictured by Robin Sweet on his layout. These are in post-1936/7 5" lettering. Most of the O18s were fitted with a sheet supporter, which is included in the Rapido 'fittings bag'.

Rapido continues to make the running on high quality 4mm RTR wagons. From left to right are the V14 Mink, O15 Open and Y4 Banana Van. These are post-1939 liveried, hence grey roofs, and pictured by Robin Sweet on his layout. Further details of the ranges on the Rapido website.

You can't have too many opens. This is a preproduction shot (April 2022) of Rapido's 4-planker. The GWR had about 18000 of this type. Remarkably, this was the first ever RTR GWR Open in 4mm scale.

Note: This list includes scope for conversions to other diagrams. Most conversions are straightforward. Those marked (*) are less so. The list is in GWR diagram order. It seems that manufacturers share tooling for some of the wagons listed. NLA = no longer available, NYA = not yet available.
