NotesThis model was part of an range of Rapido Trains UK model rail items produced to mark the 70th Anniversary of the release of the 1952 Titfield Thunderbolt film. The Bedford OB depicted replicates the coach featured in the film. All the models in this range were officually licensed from StudioCanal.
Interesting Details: The case has a full colour background inlay card featuring a rail scene from the movie, all the other Bedford OB releases have a monochrome inlay card depicting a different photograph featuring sheep on a hillside. The "Owners Manual" leaflet is printed in different colours to those included with the other OB issues, & matches the special cream, blue & red Titfield Thunderbolt 70th Anniversay card outer box. The leaflet & box also feature a stylized train outline logo in place of the normal Rapido Trains 'RT' logo found on the other standard issue versions.
Photographs of the standard packaging & leaflet can be found on the 920011 Southdown model page.
