The 14'  (built 1871 to 1889) and 15'6" (built 1896) designs were in Model Railways december 1989.
I can scan a copy of the article if it's any use.

But I think the 14' design is what Dave's link shows.

Mark - email sent.

A while back I was given a lever-arch file full of carriage and wagon drawings from magazine articles (Model Railways, Model Railway Constructor, Railw Modeller, etc) circa 1980's & 90's.
This is the only LBSCR item in there.

Ragstone appear to have a quite attractive  (7mm scale) model of a 6 wheeler with 2 grooms compartments. Looks nice (DIA 142/274)

Dear Mark
I've only just picked up this thread but, I have a drawing from the old MSC 7mm LBSCR Horsebox kit and it has drawings of the 9'  and 10' wheelbase boxes, 14' and 15' 6" long respectively.  If you would like a copy, I can send it if it's different to Andy's.

Regards
Jon

Thank you Andy for the two drawings. It was the 15',6" version that I wanted.

I now realise the van needs some 3',6" maunsell wheels and I have two 8 spoked 3',1" in my box of odds and sods. Does any one have some 3',6" maunsell wheels they would like to do a swap with.
