Momodem Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 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` 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Oldddudders Posted April 9, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 9, 2020 I have long wondered where the Caroline name came from. She was obviously a significant lady somewhere on the railway, I imagine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium newbryford Posted April 9, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted April 9, 2020 3 hours ago, russ p said: It's now been painted BR green It was supposed to be BR SR EMU green when it was rebuilt in 2009, but apparently there was a c*ckup with the paint spec and it ended up in Opal green. It was repainted into a "proper" shade about 4-5 years ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momodem Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Interesting! I do like the Opal Green though, and I`ve ordered the paint so there`s no going back for me now! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
