Pre-order alert: Rapido Trains 'Evolution' coaches
We’re reminding customers about Rapido Trains' excellent 'Evolution' pre-grouping passenger rolling stock, due in just a few months from Q4, 2025. Pre-orders are now limited owing to production numbers finalised. We recommend securing yours today pre-order for one of the most exciting and hotly-anticipated rolling stock ranges of the year.
What’s the 'buzz' about?
Rapido’s ‘Evolution’ range of pre-grouping bogie coaches has generated a huge response — and rightly so. With their ornate detailing, authentic liveries, and impressive historical accuracy, these coaches are a must-have for Era 1 and early Era 2 modellers.
Three batches have been announced, with Batch One due ahead of Christmas 2025. And now that our order with Rapido for Batch One is finalised, we’re working on a first-come, first-served basis for fulfilment.
Many models are now completely sold out with Rapido — so don’t delay.
Why pre-order now?
Batch 1 delivery is locked in — no more stock is available once our allocation sells through. Triple-packs are proving especially popular for forming complete trains quickly. Some modellers are pairing packs with single coaches to create longer, varied formations, where space allows on their platforms.
Whether you’re collecting by company, region, or building an accurate rake for your pre-grouping layout, these coaches are a perfect fit.
