there is somewhere a plan that would have used cartic trailers for a DD vehicle, it was purely an idea and quickly shelved.
as i have said before Bombardier have looked at the idea, even examined one of the surviving DD coaches and have said even using Bulleids idea, it couldnt be done today, as the way Bulleid built them wouldnt be acceptable today, even the underframe with its weight saving couldnt be used.....its a great dream, but the only place DD trains today could be used are on HS1 and hs2,
