Some 550 new cars were delivered between 1890 and 1912 , they were arguably the backbone of steam hauled suburban and short country services.\r\nThe majority were delivered with the common Mansard roof cross section. In 1911 CME Lucy, who’d replaced Thow, introduced 78 cars with a Low-elliptical roof cross-section. In 1911-12 the final 54 cars were delivered with a new High-elliptical roof cross-section.\r\nThe new cars were marshalled into 5 -, 6 - and 8 car sets, however this was constantly changing due to traffic demands and conversions. The balance of the cars were loose stock and available on demand to build up set sizes.\r\nMany changes occurred during the life of these cars, the addition of internal toilets for Tourist and Intercity working, an Improved Brake end for Guards accommodation in the later sets and the conversion of many cars into special requirement stock.\r\nThe Austrains NEO models feature many improved and new features from the first production run. In addition to the changes are also a Low-elliptical roof profile to offer an enhanced selection of set numbers and a new appearance.\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eModel Features\u003c\/b\u003e:\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eHighly detailed Ready-to-Run HO scale model\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eInjection moulded high quality plastic chassis\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eFull brake rigging and underfloor detail\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eSemi scale metal rimmed wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003eGenuine Kadee scale couplers\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n \t\u003cli\u003e18” Minimum radius recommended\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austrains Neo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43089368678505,"sku":"AUS0FO008","price":880.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/auroratrains.com.au\/products\/austrains-neo-fo-008-end-platform-car-set-61-red-russet-full-lining-8-car-set-ho-scale","provider":"Aurora Trains","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
