OllieTurrellDRS Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 I have never got to the bottom (ooh!) of who the eponymous lady was, hopefully still is. Not actually that sure who it is named after. It is a Network Rail Saloon and is usually propelled by a Class 37 No need to cancel Mrs bradfordbuffer's holiday. You stay and just let her go on her own. Any new pictures of DL Mick? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Tilt Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) Not actually that sure who it is named after. It is a Network Rail Saloon and is usually propelled by a Class 37 Excellent, thanks. That gave me enough info to find this Wikipedia link which tells all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/975025_Caroline I thought it all looked a tad familiar, 'Caroiline' has the same roots as 'Lab 4 Hastings' in that they were both Hastings line buffet cars originally. [Later] After doing a Google search for pics of 'Caroline' I found this very informative thread by Mick himself about building a model of herself back in 2011! Looks like she could appear on DL and be wholly authentic. Reading the history of the vehicle I realised that she was at the RTC when I was, and we just called her the 'Inspection Saloon' back then.

Caroline - the model version [*] is in semi-retirement at the moment, but may make a guest appearance at DEMU Showcase. I painted her in the 2009 rebuild shade of Opal green. She's now in SR EMU green.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 15, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 15, 2017 Anything New? I've been on holiday for three weeks so not much has physically happened. Although quite a bit of planning of work has been carried out. The next 3 weeks will be all hands to the pump to prepare DL for it's first full outing at the DEMU Showcase in Burton on Trent so photo updates will be intermittent - if at all.

MRDBLUE17 Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hi Mick, Will be good to see the layout at showcase. I actually saw the real Caroline heading back to Edinburghat Dalmeny recently on its tour to Inverness and back. 37409 was its power.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted May 18, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted May 18, 2017 Unfortunately, due to circumstances beyond the control of the DEMU Showcase team, Deadmans Lane will not be appearing at the event. It's just "one of those things". It is planned in for 2018. Cheers, Mick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news I have another year to save up for some sun glasses which are strong enough to protect my eyes from all that yella. Seriously I was looking forward to seeing your new layout.

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted October 30, 2017 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted October 30, 2017 Apologies for lack of updates but there is a master plan for big push on DL soon. (When it was pulled from the DEMu event, work on it pretty much ceased.) In the meantime, the NMT HST is taking shape over on my workbench thread.

RMweb Premium Popular Post newbryford Posted April 25, 2018 Author RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted April 25, 2018 Long time no post. Much work has been undertaken and there is more to be done in the next two weeks. In the meantime, here's a taster before it's outing at Derby in the very near future. Dodgy phone pics. Somebody's been climbing the lighting tower... Cheers, Mick 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold 5BarVT Posted April 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2018 Definitely got the feel of the RTC, I especially like Brunel House and (what I think is) Kelvin House. I’m struggling to place the tall thin building between the sidings in the first picture. (!) :-) Paul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold big jim Posted April 25, 2018 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 25, 2018 (edited) If your on about the one between 37057 and Caroline in the distance that’s the EMA welding department, Used to help construct prototypes, the roof is removable but you have to unscrew it Edited April 25, 2018 by big jim 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
