The Rapido GCR 'Evolution' Non-Corridor Carriage Pack is a set of OO gauge model coaches, designed to replicate the non-corridor bogie coaches of the Great Central Railway. The pack includes three coaches: a brake third, a third, and a composite, all of which are modelled with great attention to detail.

The coaches feature a range of tools and details, including clerestory roofs, electric lighting, and footboards on the guard's bogie. The bogies are modelled with a Fox pattern design, and the coaches have full internal and external detail. The lighting is also working, allowing modellers to create a realistic atmosphere.

The pack is part of the Rapido Evolution collection and is designed to meet the needs of modellers who want to create a realistic Great Central Railway layout. The coaches are supplied with NEM coupling pockets and a kinematic coupling mechanism, allowing for smooth and secure coupling and uncoupling. An optional vacuum pipe close coupling bar is also included.
