The  castings were probably commercially available items - possibly Stevens Model  Dockyard - with the remainder made from stock material. There is a beautifully  hand engraved builders plate on the bunker.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eAn interesting and original survivor from the earliest days of  model engineering.
