Rapido Trains UK have unveiled an exciting expansion of their growing OO9 narrow gauge range, headlined by the charming Peckett & Sons Cranmore Class 0-4-0ST locomotive alongside a comprehensive selection of newly tooled ‘All-Purpose’ wagons. Revealed as part of their Narrow Gauge South showcase, this latest announcement combines industrial character with versatility, offering modellers a wide variety of colourful liveries, configurations, and rolling stock options to bring narrow-gauge layouts to life. With both DCC-ready and DCC-fitted locomotive options available, and an extensive range of wagons covering multiple industries and uses, this release further strengthens Rapido’s commitment to the increasingly popular OO9 scale.
Peckett & Sons Cranmore Class 0-4-0 Locomotives
Leading the announcement is the delightful Peckett & Sons Cranmore Class 0-4-0 saddle tank, a compact industrial locomotive inspired by real-world narrow gauge workhorses. Available in a wide range of eye-catching liveries, from traditional industrial greens to more decorative lined finishes, these models capture the individuality and charm of small industrial engines. Designed with flexibility in mind, the range includes both DCC-ready and DCC-fitted versions, allowing modellers to choose a setup that suits their layout while enjoying a highly detailed and characterful locomotive ideal for tight-radius OO9 operations.
Wooden Hopper Wagons
Expanding the freight offering, the new Wooden Hopper wagons provide an authentic solution for transporting bulk materials on narrow-gauge layouts. Finished in a variety of realistic liveries, including coal, ore, and plain industrial schemes, these wagons reflect the vital role narrow-gauge railways played in industries such as mining and quarrying. Their deep-sided design and practical appearance make them a natural addition to any industrial scene, offering both operational interest and visual variety.
Rectangular Tank Wagons
The new Rectangular Tank wagons bring further versatility to the range, serving the diverse liquid transport duties found on narrow-gauge railways. Whether used for water, fuel, oil or industrial chemicals, these wagons appear in a mix of plain and branded liveries, adding authenticity and narrative to any layout. Their compact yet distinctive design makes them particularly suited to small industrial settings, where varied traffic and operational flexibility are key.
Round End Flat Wagons with Removable Crates
Completing the announcement is the Round End Flat Wagon, a highly adaptable vehicle designed for carrying a wide range of loads. Supplied with removable crate loads, these wagons offer modellers the freedom to customise their trains or run them empty as required. With multiple colour options and practical detailing, they are ideal for representing general goods traffic, engineering trains or industrial supply movements, making them a versatile addition to any OO9 fleet.
