This may be my eyes seeing things that aren't there but, assuming I have interpreted the SRPS piccies correctly, which is correct? Or are both correct? :?

EDIT: Now I'm even more confused because the piccies sent to me by Mike Trice and Coachmann appear to show vertical grain to the cantrail.
Not certain what you are looking at. I have checked photos of both vehicles and they both have a horizontal panel ABOVE the windows. The panels either side of the windows are vertical to the cornice.

There are some errors on the LNERCA sub but not in that area.

Ay up!

Many thanks Mike - It's a combination of my eyes and the piccies.

A horizontal panel above the windows there will be. Prototype vehicle in the paintshop as we speak....
If I ain't here, I'm in Bilston, scoffing decent chips at last!!!!
