Rapido Trains expands PO wagon range with a new salt van

27 June 2025
|
Rapido Trains has announced we will be expanding a brand new Salt Van, joining its OO Gauge RCH 1907 Private Owner Wagons.

The new salt vans will have the usual wealth of full external and underframe detail. This includes ribbed or smooth-tapered buffers and single or double-sided brakes. There are then five axle box variants within the range; these are square, rounded, Ellis grease, Oil 116, or RCH split oil designs.

All versions are fitted with brass bearings for smooth, friction-free running, split-spoked wheels, NEM coupling pockets, and feature a high-quality livery application.

A selection of interesting liveries that cover numerous private companies are being launched, which would have been seen across the country and throughout the grouping and pre-grouping eras.

Available to order now, the new vans cost £32.95.
