SECR G CLASS 4-4-0 PRE-ORDER NOW!

In the first of many new Rapido announcements last month - we unveiled our all-new SECR G Class 4-4-0! This gorgeous locomotive is quite fascinating in that it shares many similarities with the LNER Class D40 4-4-0 - the five SECR locos were originally intended for the Great North of Scotland Railway - but were sold to the SECR due to a lack of funds.

This project is progressing very well indeed and we already have a 3D Printed sample to share with you that you can see here.

DCC Ready: £229.95 • DCC Sound: £344.95
