    I applaud your aim for historic accuracy, nicely illustrated by the EMU in the carriage sidings. We all have to make do with what we have

    This new venture from Peco cannot possibly please all of the people all of the time, but I hope to make some modest use of it when the need should arise. The only question might then be the correct choice of prototype:

    Hello Ken, I believe that you are right to question a wider application of the signal box, on accuracy grounds; likewise the Adams 0415. However, I have no such qualms. Rule 1 will come to my rescue. Scottest

    One further point, which appears to have escaped attention, and that concerns the mainframe profile in front of the smoke box. Number 488 of the 1885 Neilson batch had a singular frame profile which dropped from the front of the smokebox, almost to footplate level. Hornby and Oxford seem to have captured this well with their models of 488 in LSW livery. Oxford show 3520 correctly in Southern Green, but show an incorrect profile for the same loco when in Bulleid's utility black. Caveat Emptor.

    A useful thesis John, but I foresee that further discussion will be way off topic. Perhaps you would care to launch a new topic for pre-grouping carriage stock in the post-grouping era.
