The Rapido 'Evolution' range includes a 48' LBSC Mahogany Non-Corridor Composite coach, model No. 264, representing a pre-grouping period vehicle. This coach features a non-corridor design with a mahogany livery, characteristic of the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LBSC). The model is part of the 'Evolution' series of 48' bogie coaches, which are designed to be generic and adaptable to various pre-grouping railways.

The model includes a range of detailed features, such as arc roofs, gas lighting, and Fox pattern bogies. The coaches have full internal and external detail, and the roofs are removable to accommodate figures. The interior features luggage racks, picture frames on compartment dividers, and passenger emergency alarm 'butterflies'. The coaches are fitted with internal working lighting, controlled by a magnetic wand, and a potentiometer allows the user to adjust the brightness of the lighting to a preferred level.

The models also include separately fitted parts for gas and electric lighting fittings, such as battery and regulator boxes, a dynamo, roof-mounted gas lamps, plumbing, and gas tanks on the underframes. The Fox pattern bogies are fitted with electrical pickups, and some versions feature extra footboards and central lower footboards. The coaches are designed with NEM coupling pockets and include optional close coupling bars, modelled on vacuum pipes.
