The prototype 80015 was introduced into service on 15/09/1951 being built at BR Brighton Works. It was sheded at 75F Tunbridge Wells West until that shed closed in 1963, where it was transferred to 70A Nine Elms shed. The loco was withdrawn from service in 07/1967.

Hi Eric – without more to go on such as boiler stamping I doubt anyone will be able to help. Look for numbers and letters stamped into the boiler? Someone might then point you in the right direction

'Built 1972 C. Hammond' might ring a bell with someone.

Hello,

I think you will find that Cyril hammond was a member of the Tonbridge Model Engineers and I think he wrote an article on the construction of the locomotive in the Model engineer. If I was you I'd get on to one of the model engineer index sites and find the issue etc.

He built a number of Southern prototypes, a couple of Schools, River tank etc.

Regards,

Bob

Nice one Bob, this is from the ME index:

141 3513 509 Locomotive A Fine 2-6-4 Tank Locomotive Cyril Hammond

I'll see if I can find the issue tomorrow (unless someone gets there first, I'm off to bed )
