    The book quoted is by two authors,  as stated in the loose insert included in every copy:   Stephen D Phillips (two Ls) and Michael J Bishop.   The latter prepared most of the original drawings (in the case of the box van only the remains of an original body) from which those in the book were transcribed.

    Sorry Mr Bishop, but I bought my copy second hand. It did not contain any loose insert, and I could find no mention of you in the book itself. The only author credited is Stephen D Phillips, hence my quote. 

  2. I'll be keeping my order for the 'As built blue' version. If the tender top bothers me, I'll scrape a scalpel along the top edge to round it off a little and blow it in with some black paint. Similarly, the 'scaffolding poles' at the back of the cab are a simple replacement with brass rod. I know it's a £200 loco, but the rest of it looks so good that I think a relatively easy fix is worth the effort.
