Gents,

I am building one of the above sets in G1, in particular a First/Third Composite Set to Diags/161/162, with Running Numbers 1185/1186. Would be grateful if anyone could direct me to sources of diagrams/photos of each side of the set, showing window/door layout. (Note: I already have this info for the equivalent All First Twin Set, Nos 1204/1205. Any help appreciated. Thanks John

You may already have this but Steve Banks site has drawings for DIAs 161 and 162
https://www.steve-banks.org/prototype-a ... aberdonian.
Campling's Historic Carriage Drawings book has side views and a plan view and photo of the other side to that drawn for 1204 & 1205, the photos taken 1926 and 1930. (pages 50-1)
Harris (1973), p.115 has a small photo of 1185/6 (British Railways Board photo is the credit given then).
Isinglass drawing 600 covers these vehicles too.
