The Rapido GWR (pre-1904) ‘Evolution’ Non-Corridor First No.14 is a model of a 48’ non-corridor bogie coach in OO gauge. It is part of the Rapido Evolution Batch 2 collection and represents a pre-grouping era coach.

The model features a range of details, including a clerestory roof, gas lighting, and full-length lower footboards. The bogies are modelled with a Fox pattern design, and the coach has full internal and external detail. The model also features working lighting and includes NEM coupling pockets with a kinematic coupling mechanism, allowing for smooth connection and disconnection with other compatible coaches.

An optional ‘vacuum pipe’ close coupling bar is also provided, giving modellers the option to recreate the vacuum brake system of the original coaches.
