	Borth The first design of box erected by Dutton & Co. bore great similarities to McKenzie & Holland's 1875 design. The only significant difference was the use of decorative wooden mouldings on the gables. This example is on the Cambrian Railway.
	Blackwater Dutton supplied several boxes to the South Eastern in the early 1880s.
	Douglas A particularly ornate variation of the first Dutton design was erected for the Isle of Man Railway in 1890.
	Georgemas Junction From 1892, Dutton & Co. incorporated the porch area with the line of the main roof. This example is on the Highland Railway, whose boxes also varied slightly from the standard Dutton product.
	Rogart North Another box with the combined porch arrangement. All boxes built for the Highland Railway had vertical battened boarding in place of the usual horizontal slatting arrangement.
	Rogart South This box was virtually a matching twin with the above. The length of the passing loops on the Highland Railway generally necessitated the provision of two boxes.
	Georgemas North Very small Dutton boxes were little more than huts, and lacked a fully glazed window area. This one was on the Highland Railway.
	Aberystwyth From 1894, the window design was modified to reduce the number of separate panes of glass, resulting on a distinct "two small over two tall" arrangement. Many boxes of this type could be found on the Cambrian Railway network.
	Newtown Another Cambrian Railway box to Dutton's 1894 design.
	Llandaff Loop Junction Although most work on the Taff Vale Railway was carried out by McKenzie & Holland, this box is believed to have been erected as part of a Dutton contract during 1900. The design conforms, however, with the McKenzie & Holland boxes on this company's lines.
