Rapido Trains UK is to fill a big gap in the ranks of ‘OO’ gauge Southern models with the Stroudley ‘E1’ 0-6-0T.

These have been awaited for sometime, with Rapido building a great deal of suspense, for this ranges eventual announcement!

Rapido are producing DCC Ready and DCC Sound versions, prices below:

DCC Ready - £140.20 (RRP £164.95) FREE UK POSTAGE
DCC Sound - £225.20 (RRP £264.95) FREE UK POSTAGE

Following the success of the ‘Terrier’, Stroudley provided the London Brighton & South Coast Railway with a dedicated passenger version – the ‘D’ 0-4-2T – in 1873. A goods version appeared the following year. This was the ‘E’, later called ‘E1’.

They might have looked like a stretched version of the ‘Terrier’ but they carved out a niche as a strong and capable performer.

Here’s the specification of the ‘OO’ gauge model:

  • Designed from original works drawings and a wealth of photographic material
  • LBSCR/Southern/IoW de-tail differences tooled
  • Powerful mechanism
  • Next18 decoder socket
  • NEM coupler pockets
  • Sprung buffers
  • Factory-fitted speaker
