Two more of my forty-year-old SDJR models. These were both made fairly early in the S&D period of our modelling when the use of stable Hornby Dublo chassis were preferred, to ones made by sticking white-metal axle guards onto plasticard under-frames.

This was my attempt at this carriage with the curious half compartment at the end. (Having typed in this note, I came across the explanation in Mitchell & Smith's Bath to Evercreech Junction. It started life as a luggage compartment.)
I didn't put footboards on the bogie carriages as they seemed destined to catch on platforms etc. As usual the Triang GWR clerestory 'G' hand grabs have remained. I see that Roxey do a pack of etched LSWR reversed 'S' shaped ones. So if I ever get back to putting these models on a track, I could upgrade them, I suppose.
I notice that I have missed off the crest. I could have digitally inserted one, but I prefer to show these old models how I had them running in the late 1960s.
I think I can justifiably put the location as Highbridge, as both the prototype and model were built there and indeed the drawing was drawn there - albeit at slightly different map references!
