These wagons were long for a four-wheel open, with a 20ft 9in wheelbase. They were BR’s first fully air-braked wagon and had upgraded running gear to cope with higher speeds.
Rapido are delighted that their new ‘N’ gauge model captures the distinctive look of the real thing, with its mix of steel ends and wooden doors. Despite being much smaller, we’ve been able to include much of the underframe and pipework detail from our ‘OO’ model on to this smaller version, too.
The liveries have been carefully selected to reflect the changing roles that the ‘OAAs’ fulfilled. These include the yellow spot on bauxite to reflect the heady days of BR’s ‘Air Braked Network’, the classic red and grey of the 1980s Railfreight era, the grey and yellow of Departmental duties to EWS maroon of the early-2000s, when ‘OAAs’ could still be found in frontline service.
There are six different livery packs available, each pack containing three ‘OAAs’ (naturally with different running numbers!) so that you can assemble realistic looking trains with the minimum of fuss.
