The Rapido 'Evolution' range features a 48' non-corridor bogie carriage brake third, representing the Great North of Scotland Railway's No 70. This model is part of the 'Evolution' series, which encompasses a range of generic 48' bogie coaches.

The model is designed to be a generic representation of a pre-grouping carriage, with key features including elliptical roofs, electric lighting, and full-length lower footboards. The Fox pattern bogies are also accurately modelled, complete with electrical pickups.

Internal and external details are also included, such as luggage racks, picture frames on compartment dividers, and passenger emergency alarm 'butterflies'. The coaches are equipped with working lighting, controlled by a magnetic magic wand, and a potentiometer allows modellers to adjust the brightness to their preference.

The model is designed to be highly detailed, with separately fitted parts and interior details, including battery and regulator boxes, dynamo, roof-mounted gas lamps, plumbing, and gas tanks on the underframes. The coaches also feature NEM coupling pockets and optional close coupling bars, modelled on vacuum pipes.
