Problems, problems - coach building

[Guest Jack Benson]

During the past couple of years, the long term Beaminster Road project is drawing to a close, completion was planned to coincide with retirement. Retirement also brought Parkinson’s and a reduction in ability but that is a risk.
 

The final flourish was supposed to be the stock (layout first, stock second) and thanks to generous help from RMweb, there are some lovely locos and wagons but I foolishly neglected the coaches. 
 

 

To cut a long story short, I need two Roxey exLSWR brakes to be built and time is not unlimited. It seems coach building is far more specialised than locos and builders are few and far between or maybe it is my lack of contacts that is the problem?
 

My thanks and payment for anyone willing to take on the task, please PM

Almost as soon as the virtual ink was dry, the problem was solved, thank you to Dave, John, Andy and Phil

Below is this image that sparked the desire.

 

30739 King Leodegrance 27th Aug 1954 Dorchester

 
Comprised of two exLSWR Dwg 1936 SR Diag 125 Fifty were built 1910/12 with four sliding doors in the brake van. They were formed into 4 car sets 101-121/159-162 but in the mid '30s the SR replaced the centre cars with 58' compos or all thirds. The all third is a Hornby R4720. The supposed route was the odd up platform on the right.

 

Thanks once more and StaySafe

To be pedantic the centre coach of these sets was always a 58' lavatory compo to diagram 285.
