Rapido Trains has released a new model in their 'Evolution' series, a pack of three non-corridor bogie coaches in the London, Midland & Scottish Railway's (LMS) 'Period 1' livery.

The pack consists of three coaches: a brake third, a third, and a composite. The brake third is numbered 1466, the third is numbered 1486, and the composite is numbered 3823. The coaches are all 48 feet in length and feature detailed bogies with the distinctive Fox pattern.

The coaches are equipped with a range of features, including arc roofs, gas lighting, and footboards on the guard's bogie only. The models also feature full internal and external detail, including working lighting. The NEM coupling pockets are included, along with a kinematic coupling mechanism that allows for smooth and reliable connections between coaches.

An optional 'vacuum pipe' close coupling bar is also included, allowing modellers to recreate the distinctive coupling system used on many pre-grouping railways. The models are designed to be highly detailed and accurate, making them a great addition to any model railway layout featuring LMS stock.
