Gresley Buffet Roof Vents

[Bob Reid]

After the 1959/1960 Conversions of the D167 Gresley Buffet's, these swivelling ventilators were fitted to the roof to replace the existing LNER vents. Does any have the dimensions (or even better a drawing) of the vents such that I could get them drawn up for 3D printing? I could guestimate the sizes sufficiently accurately but it would be better to have the details from real thing. I tried Mike Trice however he wasn't able to help. Most preservation societies dispensed with them when converting the Buffets back to the pre-59 condition.

Any help much appreciated,
