hmmm, which Tardis and I'm not sure I follow which dimension you want. I'll help if I can.

Hi am building a Brachacki TARDIS  i have the style widths but not the rails. sgc1

The usual received wisdom is that 3" is showing (so you need them slightly wider for the edge to back on behind corner posts and central dividers).   If you choose to put a bevel on the edge you'll need them to be slightly wider again before you cut that into them..

Remember, the original Brachacki TARDIS prop didn't have bevels on its door stiles, so that shouldn't be a concern.

The lespaceplie plans here may help: [ref topic=644]Hartnell plans available and ready for revision[/ref].

If going for a Hartnell box a couple mistakes I made that might help you...

Make sure your corner posts are correct thickness, due to the sizes of wood I used mine ended up about 5 3/4 but plans call for 6.5. Doesnt sound like much but in appearance I think my box would look a little better with the thicker posts.

Sign boxes, I think I overshot an inch making my box more Hudolinish on the sign boxes. At the time it was more for personal preference but now as I look at her I wish I had cut them back a bit to be more Hartnellish.

Personally I think the Hartnell box is one of the best looking boxes.
