The Rapido GWR 'Evolution' Non-Corridor Carriage Pack is a model railway set produced by Rapido, a company specialising in OO gauge model railway carriages. This set is part of the 'Evolution' collection, which focuses on modernising the classic designs of British railway carriages.

The pack includes three non-corridor bogie coaches in Great Western Railway livery. Each carriage has intricate details such as clerestory roofs, gas lighting, and footboards on the guard's bogie. The underframe-mounted footboard and Fox pattern bogies add to the authentic look.

The coaches feature full internal and external detailing, including working lighting. The NEM coupling pockets allow for a kinematic coupling mechanism, enabling smooth and realistic coupling and uncoupling. Additionally, an optional 'vacuum pipe' close coupling bar is provided for those who prefer this type of coupling.
