SDJR 0-4-4T No.10 1877 to 1930 photo & model
I know that the coach grab handles are the wrong shape. This was before the Ratio Midland panelled coaches were available. I just thought that there was a danger of having a much scruffier finish if I tried to replace the moulded-on G-shaped GWR ones with the S-shaped Midland/S&D variety.
Please see the set description for the background to these photos.
The biggest challenge with recreating these one-off prototypes, was finding a reasonable match for chimneys, domes and safety valves. Our main source of these was W&H Models, from the Baker Street area of London. They published a catalogue, annually I think, which showed most of their lines and usefully included profiles of their range of boiler fittings.
