Which one?

Live steam or electric?
Margate or China?

Better still, do you have the model's catalogue number?

I'd try 'phoning round your local model shops.

There is one fairly close to me (Derby) that often has loco bodies in at reasonable prices (LMC Derby), but I wouldn't hold your hopes up for a Silver Link body - From what I can ascertain, they are somewhat akin to finding rocking-horse manure.

That said, there are various Hornby spares retailers on the Internet; a quick Google search brought up numerous listings.
You could also try the various railway modelling forums, New Railway Modellers, RMWeb, etc.

It may be easier, cheaper and quicker to purchase a 'standard' A4 tender body and paint it to match the loco!
