I found that the desk unit was not quite pushed home and so took that out along with the windscreen and then carefully clipped the screen back in place before relocating the desk unit. No glue was needed but the body sides needed to be prised apart a little to allow the unit to clip back into place.

I have started a thread on N Gauge Forum for the new Union Mills Prince of Wales but here is a photo of the LMS and LNWR versions:

Morning Richard,

 

its some kind of soap stone I think. I converted some Z gauge bolster wagons into Nn3 coaches some years ago for a customer and these were the load - being a shocking hoarder I kept them! I have a couple left for use in some similar wagons I have built (not painted yet) for an off stage quarry on Tucking Mill.

It looks more like sandstone than soapstone - possibly chippings from a quarry or builders merchant? If it is sandstone then by gently running the back of your fingernail over the stone it will feel rough and gritty - soapstone would feel much smoother.
