Rapido Trains OO 917001 GWR Loriot Y Machinery Truck 41989 GWR Goods Grey
Designed for the carriage of machinery and other loads too tall to be carried on ordinary flat wagons the Loriot Y features a low central load bed and was often used for carrying tracked vehicles like bulldozers and crawler cranes. Occasionally something really unusual might be carried, like a yacht or navigation bouy.
Wagon 41989 was built in 1937 and is modelled in the GWR standard goods grey livery.
This Rapido Trains model features injection moulded and die-cast construction with separately fitted detail parts, metal bearings for smooth running, NEM coupler pockets and additional tie-down points to reflect key periods in these vehicles’ careers.
