Building LNER ‘Quad-Arts’
The LNER articulated ‘Quad-Art’ coaches stood out from the crowd – and the arrival of a new 3D printed resin kit from Isinglass Models was too tempting to resist. MIKE WILD knuckles down to build a four-coach set for ‘OO’ gauge with a handful of modifications along the way.
Above: The LNER ‘Quad-Arts’ saw most of their careers in the hands of Gresley ‘N2’ 0-6-2Ts on the Great Northern line suburban workings, but in their final years they were also hauled by the ‘Baby Deltic’ Bo-Bo diesels. The finished ‘Quad-Art’ departs Topley Dale in the hands of one of the unreliable English Electric diesels.
