Rapido Trains UK have announced the latest batch of their RCH 1907 7 plank Private Owner wagons.
The new 2025 range is a re-run of the 7-plank variant, which has a 9ft wheelbase underframe and is to the RCH 1907 standards. Much like our first batch of PO wagons, the wagon bodies include both side and end doors. A feature that made the unloading of raw materials such as coal significantly easier, as they could be tipped out.

Rapido have included a selection of interesting liveries that cover numerous private companies. Many of the liveries in the 2025 batch would have been seen across the country and throughout the grouping and pre-grouping eras; there is a suitable version for everyone's collection.

All versions of the OO Gauge RCH 1907 7-Plank Private Owner Wagon- 2025 range features full external, internal and underframe details. All versions include side and end doors, brass bearings for smooth, friction-free running, split-spoked wheels, NEM coupling pockets and a high-quality livery application.

Models in the 2025 range also include subtle detail differences, such as ribbed or smooth-tapered buffers, square, rounded or Ellis axle boxes, straight or bent ‘V’ hangers, and single or double-sided brakes.

Eighteen different versions are being produced as per the image above, and can be pre ordered, due for delivery during 2026, here>>>
