Dimensions for LNER Toad B & Toad E needed please

[Moxy]

As the title says, I'm looking for some key dimensions for the above LNER Brake vans.  This is to make models of them in British H0 scale.

 

Lima have done a BR 20T Brake van in H0, which is a reasonable model and which I think I can backdate to an LNER Toad D with a bit of gentle model bashing, but for a bit of variety I am looking to see if I can build/bash either a Toad B or Toad E.

 

There are loads of photos online for reference, so that is not a problem, and I have found one drawing online (from the Parkside OO kit, I think), but there no dimensions on it.

 

What I am looking for is the wheelbase of each version, and the length over headstocks or over the body please.

 

From what I have been able to find online, there may be a drawing in one of Peter Tatlow's LNER Wagon books, but unfortunately I don't have any of his books in my collection.

 

If there are any LNER experts out there who know the dimensions, or who can point me towards a dimensioned drawing, I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks in advance.

Accordinging to the Peter Tatlow book I have the Toad B & E were identical in basic diemensions, 10'6" wheelbase and 19' over headstocks with similar chassis. It was the bodies that differed in respect of planking size and the ducket style.
