The Rapido SDJR 'Evolution' Non-Corridor First No.5 is a model of a vintage railway carriage produced by Rapido as part of their 'Evolution' collection.

This model represents a non-corridor bogie coach from the pre-grouping era, specifically in the livery of the Somerset and Dorset Joint Railway.

Key features of the model include elliptical roofs, gas lighting, and footboards on all bogies. The underframe-mounted footboard and Fox pattern bogies add to the model's authenticity. The interior and exterior of the carriage are fully detailed, with working lighting and NEM coupling pockets with a kinematic coupling mechanism for smooth connection to other models.

An optional 'vacuum pipe' close coupling bar is also provided for modellers who wish to create a more realistic connection between carriages.
