I was gonna have a go, but looking at my modelling skills ( skills? I don't have skills

. ), I thought it would do they model justice to give them to someone else.

I'll dig out them plans

The Overhead electrics on the routes via Crystal Palace had bars on the window droplights because they were LBSC stock which was slightly wider than normal (although still within loading gauge) and the Crystal Palace tunnel was slightly narrower than normal (ditto on the loading gauge bit). They were trying to stop people putting their heads out at the wrong moment and knocking it off on the tunnel entrance.
