I never got the impression of such a curving profile of the coaches. I’ll
have to go back and look at my reference material.

The profile of the coaches used in the film (BR Mk1) is actually pretty much
a constant large radius curve down the whole side. Newer designs of British
coaches have a different profile with a far sharper curve at the bottom.
This example shows the
difference,the nearest coach is a Mk1 while the rest are Mk2s.

Wow. Now that is what I call “sub-til”;-) I must confess that I don’t see much
difference, and gauging from the curvature of the Mk1 I would have to say that
it is nominal at best and trying to account for it at such a small scale is
futile. But that’s just me:-)
Now I realize that my material has been based heavily on the Hornby models. I
guess I’d better search for generic BR Mk1 pics instead!
