Leading the latest announcements from Rapido Trains UK are two impressive new steam locomotive projects, headed by the long-awaited SECR O Class 0-6-0 and the imaginative “What If” Ironclad No.957 ‘Rose’. The O Class range captures a wide spread of historical liveries from the SER, SECR and Southern Railway eras, including striking Cudworth Green, Wainwright Green and Southern lined black variations, with every version also available in factory-fitted DCC sound for enhanced realism and operation. These elegant Victorian-era locomotives are set to appeal strongly to Southern Region enthusiasts and steam-era collectors alike.
Alongside the O Class comes the eye-catching Ironclad 0-6-0 “Rose”, a fictional but highly detailed interpretation of a preserved-style locomotive, offered in both standard and DCC sound-equipped forms. Rapido have also significantly expanded their growing “Evolution” wagon range with a huge selection of Horseboxes and Open Carriage Trucks covering an enormous variety of pre-grouping and Big Four railway companies. Featuring liveries from the GWR, LMS, LNER, Southern Railway and many lesser-seen regional operators, these finely detailed wagons provide modellers with an excellent way to add authentic period goods traffic to layouts spanning multiple eras of British railway history.
