If Mike Garwood can find a copy of "Model Railway News" for Feb 1954, he will find a drawing by Stan Hunter of a 54ft First Class Coach (converted from articulated first).
This is the only GWR Coach drawing I have ever seen where the end profile of the roof is fully dimensioned. I understand Mr Hunter was very meticulous so I assume he has it correct. He says it is based on Swindon drawing No 107074 June 1936.
The only issue is the the lower body radius does not agree with the articulated coach drawings published in the "Great Western Railway Journal".

Sorry for the late reply, thank you for the information. I'll have a look in our club's archives for that issue. Thanks for taking the trouble to look.
