If there are more original sets than one out there, may I piggyback on the request?

On the other hand, I've checked with Nick at Lloyds' -- he can do reproductions of these and has a model for the work. Ray, I would be willing to add at least two more sets to your request for repros if you go that route. No hurry for me, though -- Brian Baylis has the frameset and I only just snuck it into his workshop as he shut down the repaint work. Brian well knows I'll let him leave it low on the priority list for as long as he cares to!
