TomScrut Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) There's plenty of evidence of all 4 AS (main interest as I don't anticipate buying more Bachmann ones if the AS one is as good as it looks) DRS 37/4s running with it but 409 is the only one I can see in current livery running with it. Just for interest that's an interesting one too below. 68004, 37422, 37425 Edited May 31, 2020 by TomScrut 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All too modern for me but if I did model the current scene, it would be on the shopping list. A few years ago, she spent a lot of time with 423. I think it was mentioned that 423 was having low power issues or something along them lines. Couldn’t be trusted with anything taxing. Utilising 423 with Caroline was perfect while they could diagnose the fault. Anyway, we’ll done RevolutioN. I hope you do very well with her. 66738 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compass, plain blue and then the newer faded DRS. But they all seem to be with the Opal green, not the current SR green. Can't find any of it in the "simple" DRS that 423 currently wears with 975025. If you haven't got a DRS 37/4 - then use a 57/3 and 37/6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you haven't got a DRS 37/4 - then use a 57/3 and 37/6 Yes, it was a good few years back, so she probably would have been in the opal green. But their partnership did seem to last a long time. Could it possibly take that long to identify fault and put right? Maybe yes. We have had units in the past with intermittent faults, and it’s these type of issues that can be a real pig to sort out. Repair book full of reports about intermittent fault. Fitters comments : NFF or No Fault Found. A rider is eventually sent to ride with you all day, and Murphy’s law, the set is as good as gold. Fitter shrugs shoulders and can’t fault it. The next day, when there is no rider, the unit could be an absolute nightmare, throwing fault up repeatedly. It feels fantastic when the unit does play ball, throws the fault up, the fitter sees what’s happening and has a good idea what could be causing it.

RMweb Gold big jim Posted May 26, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted May 26, 2020 Definitely going to order the latest version, I’ve never driven Caroline but have moved it around the yard at derby quite a few times with 08417 amongst other locos! 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

47475 Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 EoI placed for a NSE version. Should be a very nice model if the N gauge version comes to fruition. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like it's the only 37/4 to have had 4 DRS liveries too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opelsi Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 BR Blue [& grey] one ordered just now - what a wonderful surprise - thank you RevolutioN! No doubt it will spend a high proportion of it's time on my RTC based depot with lots of choice/competition for motive power! May even think about 73142 at some point. 29.7.81 will remain in my memory as a day (as a child) I played the part of HRH Prince Charles in our street party and, was also the month I took my interest in trains to new heights and started train spotting, so although never thought of this until now it is the perfect excuse splash out and on 'Caroline'! Nothing like justifying a purchase to oneself to make you feel better! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to fund is transport to and from Derby. However, as you rightly identify the numbers allowed on board are small. So everyone who orders Caroline before August 31st - unless they opt out - will just be entered into a draw for places. cheers Ben A. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomag Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 As long as an N Gauge one isn't going to be more than the OO I can stretch to one of these and an cl89. I wonder what the ride would have been if the 89 had been on it! Given that there is will be a Hastings body shell how about a full set without the bells and whistles, deffo consider a set as preserved, 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Ben , unfortunately Caroline fall outside of my East Anglian 1960s layout unfortunately. In normal years I am a regular driver on it in East Anglia and the east Midlands Cheers Russ 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomScrut Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Had a bit of a spending spree today... Caroline ordered, and I ended up ordering 37423 and 37425, so I can also top and tail with the DRS coaches I have on order. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The critical number in N gauge will be the number of people interested in a model - that is largely what drives the price! Sorry - no plans to do a full Hastings unit. Caroline was originally from a 6B set which is a lot more tooling to get to a full set! Cheers Mike 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
