Thanks Cowley that's a lovely photo, I did find a picture of a model on google of an A12 numbered 555. I saw that the loco was rated 1MT so I somehow doubt that they ventured far from home. The photo is in a junk shop. It looks very old, its framed. Looks as though its on shed somewhere.

Yes. With some more googling I found that my guess of Adams A12 was confirmed and it was built at Nine Elms in 1889 and withdrawn 1944, just come on to report what I found and someone got there first............ Anyone know how to find where it was shedded, or any other history.

I have seen a photo of a Southern Loco No.555 Its an 0-4-2, not a tank engine. Sorry I cannot post the photo at the moments it does not belong to me. Can anyone identify this? Any additional info would be appreciated. Thanks
