I don't recall seeing any open wagons with these in N gauge they were pivoted on the wagon ends. I believe they were less common after grouping  although the SR built some wagons to LSWR design up to 1926 the pics are of Cambrian 00 kits. Maybe a project for etched brass?

Sorry but can't see what you are on about as the links don't work.

Try this link and scroll down to the pics of LSWR open wagons

The actual rail could be modelled with wire, but working pivots at either end could be fiddly.

there is an N gauge society kit NGSK0360 which contains an open shock wagon with sheet bar and a shock van

Had a look, those are BR not SR/ex LSWR, can't get the image large enough to see detail of the pivot at the end;  Further to that, £10.90 is a bit pricey for a sheet bar, I don't need the wagons just the sheet rails.

I bent mine up from 0.33 brass rod supplied for handrails, they fitted into holes in the ends of the bodies
