Model details

Here is a summary of the Ellis Clark Trains Quad Art Set No. 90B LNER Teak 4 Coach Pack in neutral, factual language:

The Ellis Clark Trains Quad Art Set No. 90B is a OO gauge model of a LNER teak 4 coach pack, representing British Railways Early Crest period. The set is designed to be a detailed and accurate representation of the original Quad Art coaches.

The model features finely detailed bogies, including wheel, brake rigging, and underframe details, as well as brass bearings and separate bogie variations for centre and end bogies. The chassis is fully detailed, with accurate and detailed paint and printing detail, and includes sprung buffers on the brake end coach.

The bodies of the coaches are fully detailed, with separate door grab rails, highly detailed coach ends with lit destination boards, and fully "low glow" interior lighting. The interior is also detailed with etched luggage racks and correct height seats, and the roofs are fully detailed with separately fitted vents and magnetic and push-fit roofs.

The Quad Art coaches were built between 1923 and 1925, with a small pause in production due to consideration of electrification of the London Suburban lines. A total of 97 sets were produced, with extensive use on suburban lines and later years seeing them hauled by a variety of motive power. The Quads were the last articulated loco-hauled stock seen on the UK mainline, with their demise coming in April 1966.
