The Rapido 'Evolution' 48' GNoSR Non-Corridor Third No.119 is a model of a pre-grouping era coach. The model represents a third-class carriage from the Great North of Scotland Railway (GNoSR) and features a non-corridor design.

The coach measures 48' in length and features bogies with Fox pattern designs. The model includes a range of detail features such as elliptical roofs, electric lighting, and full-length lower footboards. The internal and external details are fully modelled, including luggage racks, picture frames, and passenger emergency alarm "butterflies".

The model is part of the 'Evolution' range of 48' bogie coaches, which includes coaches with different roof designs, including arc, elliptical, and clerestory styles. The roofs are removable, allowing modellers to fit figures inside the coaches.

The model features working internal lighting, which can be controlled using a magnetic wand. The brightness of the lighting can be adjusted using a potentiometer, allowing modellers to achieve the desired level of illumination. The model also includes 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 models have extra footboards and central lower footboards. The coaches also feature NEM coupling pockets and optional close coupling bars, modelled on vacuum pipes.
