OcCre Rocket – historic locomotive model for railway modelling beginners
OcCre Rocket is a wooden-metal kit in 1:24 / G-45 scale that recreates George Stephenson’s famous steam locomotive from the Rainhill Trials of 1829. Rocket won the competition to find the best locomotive for the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and became a decisive step towards practical railway transport for passengers and goods.
For retailers, Rocket is an excellent entry point into OcCre’s locomotive range. The model has a clear technological history, a compact format and an easy difficulty level, making it simple to recommend to customers who want to try railway modelling without starting with a large advanced locomotive.
With 650 parts and around 100 hours of build time, Rocket offers a manageable yet rewarding project. Its combination of iconic transport history, early steam technology and strong recognition value makes it a useful addition for shops looking to broaden their range from ships and trams into classic locomotive models.
