Firstly, may I just say congratulations on a very fine looking model indeed !
Secondly, for the record, Aylesbury South was exactly 35' over the corner posts, not 60'.
Thirdly, I hope you have not based too much on the Bachmann model, as not only is it inaccurate in places, but it is of an RSCo-built Type 4, whereas Aylesbury South was an RSCo-built Type 5. They appear superficially quite similar, but there is little in common between them. I am assuming you noticed this yourself, as the model appears to be a very good representation of a Type 5.
Fourthly, it is a bit late now, but we hold a full set of plans, sections and elevations for the upper part of Aylesbury South. You must let me know if you have any further questions.
