Some effort indeed and thanks for the comments. The work most awkward was the vents in the portholes and I did this without seeing the real ones, but they are close. My latest batch of bug boxes have opening doors which I think is an improvement.

I know of the 3d version. I'm building them with removable sides and ends as the prototype and a lot cheaper too. The wagons run on slaters Hudson wheels with replicated Hudson axleboxes. I will endeavour to post a clearer pic. The handwheel I owe thanks to the genius of Mr Colin Binnie. ./myff/1787...

I don't think the ends would have been red as the guard was permanently housed in the sentry box and on the balcony. Unlike the replica where a door into the van from the balcony is in progress for comfort. The van would of not matched the bug boxes for reason it wasn't a passenger carrying vehicle....
