Rapido Trains UK has announced a new range of models inspired by The Titfield Thunderbolt that will be available in time to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the film’s release in 2023. These will be the most accurate The Titfield Thunderbolt models ever produced and are being developed with full co-operation of STUDIOCANAL, which owns the rights to this seminal railway film.
Rapido Trains UK will initially produce five new ‘OO’ gauge models:
Thunderbolt, aka Liverpool & Manchester Railway 0-4-2 Lion
The Buffet Car, aka Great Eastern Railway Diagram 603 No. 8
No. W68740, GWR Diagram AA20 ‘Toad’ brakevan
‘Dan’s House’, aka GWR ‘Loriot Y’ No. 41989 with fictitious Victorian coach body
Pearce & Crump’s coach GAM338, aka Bedford OB with Duple Vista body
The Titfield models will be available in three packs:
Pack 1 (SKU922001) is a standard pack, containing Thunderbolt, ‘Dan’s House’ and Loriot Y with No. W68740.
Pack 2 (SKU922002) is a deluxe pack, containing sound-fitted Thunderbolt, Dan’s House and Loriot with W67840 plus 4mm:1ft scale figures and commemorative booklet.
Pack 3 (SKU922003) contains the Buffet Car and No. W68740, plus 4mm:1ft scale figures.
The Bedford OB will be available as a standalone model in full Pearce & Crump livery (SKU920001).
All models will be in stock by March 6 2023, the 70th anniversary of the film’s release, although it is expected that some models will be available during 2022.
