Rapido's 'Evolution' range of 48' non-corridor bogie coaches includes a model of a LBSC Mahogany livery brake third carriage, No.1240. This model represents a pre-grouping carriage and is part of a range of generic 48' bogie coaches.

The model features a number of key details, including an arc roof, gas lighting, and footboards on the guard's bogie only. Other features include Fox pattern bogies, full internal and external detail, working lighting, and NEM coupling pockets with a kinematic coupling mechanism.

The 'Evolution' range of coaches is designed to be highly detailed and feature a large number of separately fitted parts, including luggage racks, picture frames on compartment dividers, and passenger emergency alarm 'butterflies'. The coaches also have internal working lighting that can be adjusted using a magnetic magic wand and a potentiometer, allowing modellers to control the brightness of the lighting to their preference.

The model is designed to be highly customisable, with separately fitted parts for different lighting fittings, including battery and regulator boxes, a dynamo, roof-mounted gas lamps, plumbing, and gas tanks on the underframes. The coaches also feature Fox pattern bogies with electrical pickups and optional footboards, as well as NEM pockets and close coupling bars modelled on vacuum pipes.
