The Cartic-4 car carriers were developed jointly by BR and Ford and, at the time, adopted a radical design for freight stock, comprising a permanently coupled four-part vehicle in which the inner cars were linked via shared bogies on articulated joints. The majority were built for private vehicle transporters, MAT, Silcock \u0026amp; Collings and Tolemans; however, some were also built by BR and used to launch its Motorail brand in 1966. This offered motorists the opportunity to take their car on holiday with them, with an extensive network of services between cities, including London, Birmingham, and Sheffield, and in Scotland, the South West, and North Wales. Once Motorail stopped, the Cartic-4s were used to transport cars around the country, both in block flows from factories to delivery points and in Speedlink flows to dealers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAll of our models feature:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuad pack of Cartic-4 wagons (each individually numbered and with prototypical livery variations) in BR blue livery in as-built condition (ie no side mesh\/screens or roof) - suitable for Era 6\/7\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNEM kinematic close couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoice of set numbers – set A or B (each quad set will feature different numbers)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEach quad set measures 840mm over buffers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Revolution Trains","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57955554066813,"sku":"rt-oo-car4-403A","price":159.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0419\/5696\/6563\/files\/403A.jpg?v=1774102304","url":"https:\/\/www.chestermodelcentre.com\/products\/revolution-trains-rt-oo-car4-403a-quad-set-cartic-4-car-carrier-silcok-and-collings-orange-set-a","provider":"Chester Model Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
