Caroline by Revolution Trains - 10 Minute Trains quick look - is it worth the money? 

Hi, very informative review of the best coach on the market to date, I was surprised by the price at first then I saw the detail and features in many reviews so that made me realise that it is a real unique product, the price is the price take it or leave it, Revolution could have fitted a stay alive but I guess it’s a cost they didn’t want, I believe this is the only run so these coaches are going to be rare, thanks for sharing.

Nice review Eric. Great bit of kit although not without its problems, you can argue (& rightly so!) for the high price it should be perfect. I had flickering lights which were sorted with the addition of a “stay alive”. Yes I could have sent it back, but seeing as I could fix the problem relatively easily I did ,…..& am very happy with the coach. Love the NSE livery btw👍 Cheers John b 😎

Great model indeed ! Nice review 👍 regarding the slight scuff paint mark every single model I buy from abroad or wherever always has one little mark or scrape on it.. it used to really bother me but like you say won’t even notice without closely looking . Stunning layout and brilliant updates as always

Hey, just found your channel and subscribed..... just wanted to say well done and thanks for the amazing content, I'm now going back through the old vids and this is amazing.!! Keep the content coming :)

Love the printed self figures and the cat. Gorgeous looking car.

Strange seeing it in that livery..when I'm used to the green...but what a lovely model. Amazing, and yours looks extra special with the people on board. £160?? Not for me sorry. All the best.

The 33 is a great one, preserved at the East Lancs Railway, quite reliable, just needs some paint so if you want to see the 33 from the tour its up north. Great video, good looking coach. Keep up the amazing work

Hi Eric 👍 awesome honest review my friend. Thanks for sharing Andy

Interesting looking loco, I do like the livery. Thanks as always for making your great videos!

I asked Revolution to upscale this beauty in O gauge, unfortunately they have no plans to do it, which is a great pity. Lovely model.

Can you please do more 5 inch gauge videos I really enjoyed them❤

Hi, it is true,y a lovely model, I have a green one. When I got mine I was advised to get a Dapol imperium 1 decoder and the lights work correctly. Although I cannot turn off the white lights and leave on the red, when the loco pulls Caroline.

I have a lovely Caroline too, the current Brunswick Green version. It’s a beautiful model. I’m not sure if the NSE version works slightly differently with lights, but using a lokpilot basic, I found that; F0 = Headlights F1 = Interior Lights F2 = Tail Lights (requires F0 to be on, which is a little annoying because when dragged, why would the headlights be on? This seems to be a circuit design issue rather than the decoder.) F5 = Stair lights F6 = Search Lights (requires F0 to be on. Now, the one thing I did find, after removing and replacing the body a couple of times, some of the lights seem to drop out. At first I thought I’d broken something, but with a bit of careful wiggling about of the body, they came back. Just something to be aware of if you’re having issues. Regardless, it is a beautiful looking model and I’m pleased I bought one.

I had the same issue, you have to use a 4 function decoder , I used the laisdcc with stay alive and all light function work great ,

I have the exact same inspection saloon as you but I have OO in a small space so the radius is tight and the only gripe I have is that the bogies don’t want to stay on the track but other than that, it is a really well detailed model

Looks like a good video

I might buy this in n gauge, quite expensive though ...

Afraid I’ve not got any sound recordings for the coach but have got a few pictures of the inside and out, was lucky enough to go out on it earlier this year

I remember seeing Caroline last year when it was pushed by 37418 and 20007.

4:10 The best level of detail I've seen for some time ~ even through the lens of a YT vid. I should hope that it does have at least a 21-pin decoder option for that price. Not never having heard of this coach before and pretty sure that I know the answer, I was just a bit thrown by the big windows and the "driver's cab" at the front. Could it propel itself?

The money shot for me is at 9:11 lol , what was that about a carriage?

Looks like one of the axle.boxes has lost it's yellow paint. ?

It is expensive. I model N and the N gauge ones far too expensive for one carriage. But for your £160 you shouldn't have the faulty lighting issue. For £160 the model should arrive working fine and perfect. ie without the paint imperfection / mark. I personally don't think its worth that price, in either scale sadly. It does look the bizz and grest attention to detail. Its just overpriced. A very interesting coach though. Started life as a class 203 buffet car.

Are you selling any of your 5 inch gauge trains
