Hi Trevor; John Hall's model was a hand-built assembly of brass, wood, plastic and a white metal engine casting. It resembles an early Faimont, but is missing a couple if details.
I suspect the Wiseman kit will be the way to go, although I have not built one. In the worst case, maybe parts from one of his trailers would help in standard gauging it.
