Low Elliptic roof LFX.  The 2SB bogie on the left is an earlier version without axlebox guides.  The diagonal bracing is also a different angle to the later and more common version on the right side of the picture. 

Photo below shows the High Elliptic roof LFX with 2AD bogies.  Both pictures show the post 1946 colour scheme.  Code letters to be added.

The wheels are my own exact scale reproductions but are not available commercially, they are there to highlight the bogie detail for reference only.   Couplings are not included in basic price of kits, refer to PRODUCT DETAILS.
