Thanks Ken,
I had told Keith that I knew of no photos of RPO 11's under frame, but I was wrong.
Ken also posted this image of RPO 11, when derailed at Foxton with C&S number 10:

Ken notes in his plans for RPO 11, that the car had 4 truss rods, and sure enough that's what the photo shows. I am confident that the car in the photo is C&S 11 -- note that the far edge of the big baggage door is just above the far queen post.
Not also that the center two truss rods are shorter than the outer two, to clear the trucks.
Does anyone know of a clearer digital image of this photo?
