The Rapido GWR ‘Evolution’ Non-Corridor Third No.2001 is a model of a 48’ non-corridor bogie coach, designed for use on OO gauge model railways. The model features a Great Western Railway livery and is part of Rapido's Evolution collection.

The model is highly detailed, with features such as clerestory roofs, gas lighting, and footboards on the guard's bogie only. A lower underframe mounted footboard is also included. The bogies are modelled after the Fox pattern, and the model features full internal and external detail.

The coach is equipped with working lighting, allowing modellers to add an extra level of realism to their layout. The NEM coupling pockets include a kinematic coupling mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure coupling with other compatible models. Additionally, an optional 'vacuum pipe' close coupling bar is included for further customisation.
