The Rapido 'Evolution' 48' SR Olive Non-Corridor Third No.562 is a model of a 48' non-corridor bogie coach in the olive liveries of the Southern Railway. This model represents a coach from the Big Four era, a period of railway history that spanned from 1923 to 1948, during which the railways of the UK were grouped into four main companies: the London, Midland and Scottish Railway, the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway, the Great Western Railway, and the London and North Eastern Railway.

The coach features a range of details typical of its era, including an elliptical roof and Fox pattern bogies. The coach is also fitted with internal and external details, such as luggage racks and passenger emergency alarm 'butterflies'. The model features working lighting, which can be controlled using a magnetic magic wand and can be dimmed using a potentiometer to achieve the desired level of brightness.

The coach is part of a range of 48' bogie coaches, each designed to be generic and representative of the pre-grouping railway of the modeller's choice. The range includes various roof designs, including arc and clerestory roofs, and features a removable roof to allow figures to be added. The model also includes a variety of separately fitted parts and interior details to enhance its authenticity.

The coach has NEM coupling pockets and an optional close coupling bar modelled on a vacuum pipe. The model is designed to be highly detailed and authentic, with features such as electrical pickups on the Fox pattern bogies and additional footboards on some versions.
