We are delighted to announce a NEW & EXCLUSIVE variant of the Caledonian Railway 'Single' 4-2-2 No.123 steam locomotive in partnership with our friends at Rapido Trains UK! This new edition is presented in this exquisite Caledonian Railway lined dark blue colour scheme as seen on the real locomotive during the pre-grouping era.
This model features the CR dark blue livery as carried by the locomotive during the pre-grouping era. During this period the locomotive carried a different boiler which is not featured in the Rapido tooling suite – hence it is described as a “what if”. The model is physically different to Rapido's other light blue model of No.123 making it a completely unique variant.
