  1. Hello all, I`m not a modeller but I needed to know the colour of "Caroline" as I have built onto a plate layer`s trolley to make it look like a Wickham Trolley!  I was told it was a malachite but it isn`t and it was here and only here that I saw it was "Opal Green".  I managed to find a supplier and have ordered some.  About ten years ago I spent a day on Caroline with my Engineers and took lots of photographs and video, I will post some here for you.

    The blue colour I painted the panels, and a coat of varnish, gave me a very close match but the varnish always showed streaks, no matter how long I stirred it.  Now I can paint over this mess...

     

    Many thanks, Mo`
