One of my students read the term in a book he's reading. I have no idea what a Cattermole coach (capitalized first letter, possibly), might be. Googling images pulls up everything from faces to earth movers, as you might expect.

Could the kid bring you the book so you can get the context?

sounds like a made up word from a kid's book about anthropomorphized animals, using catterpillar as a jumping off point... maybe?

Perhaps it is an allusion to one of George Cattermole’s works, or his particular stylistic treatment of the subjects/objects he painted?
From Encyclopedia.com:
Cattermole, George
1800-1868, English watercolor painter and illustrator. His subject matter was varied, and his works were popular during his lifetime. He painted picturesque scenes of antique subjects in a romantic mode. He made illustrations for some of Dickens's works, including Barnaby Rudge. Cattermole is represented in most of the important British galleries.

Objects, of course. You mean he painted the bodywork of the coaches ?
