I acquired the smokebox numberplate from 32475 a while ago and since then I've been seeking out photos and information on this Brighton based engine which was scrapped in 1961. I've collected 14 photos to date, one when new (named 'Partridge Green') and the rest in the 1950's / 60's and most of these have been sourced online through the likes of the Bluebell Railway archive, Rail-online, Google images and Ebay.
I've never yet found a photo of the engine in Southern Railway livery when it was numbered B475 and subsequently 2475. If anyone out there can help me photos and information to build up my genealogical research on this engine I would be very grateful.
