1ngram,
I, too, am looking for reference material on ROD rolling stock and came across the thread that you began back in 2014, I think.
You said that you were hoping to contact the author of British Overseas Railways, regarding the scale drawings in the book.
Did you, by any chance, manage to get an answer?
Would appreciate knowing.
It may be of interest to you that a 3D printed pitch-roof wagon with guard’s hutch has been brought out by rue d’etropal and can be obtained through Shapeways.
Regards,
Bandicoot

Just found this today. Yes I managed to conract him and we exchanged emails. He also sent me a few drawings of wagons built for them in Britain and sent to France. I will have to rake around to find this for you but I will try to do so over the next few days. I'm sure I also have a print out of at least one of the wagon drawings so if I cant find the emails etc I will try to scan what I have. I have seen the 3D wagons you mention and also been in touch with d'etropal. My layouit will be in H0. I'm building two trains, one of British coal wagons using the old Lima H0 wagons (where I can find them) and a second of the French 12/40 wagons mainly. There are lots of later versions of these available from REE, Jouef, Piko Lilliput which can be used, some with guards hatches as well. I'm in the middle just now of opening up windows in the very old Jouef versions. Buit its so cold in my shed I am only going forward at a snail's pace. I can be contacted more directly at kennclark@btinternet.com.
