There are also about half a dozen on Railphoto prints but the site is down atm
http://www.railphotoprints.co.uk/
Shots on the East Gloucester Railway at Witney which would also make an excellent little model.
From what I can gather 6326 went to OOC in September '63 and remained there until mid '70 when it went west, photographic evidence suggests it remained in GSYP until April 1970. The instructions suggest that it was the first of the class to be fitted with a Vapor boiler, but I need to confirm this with the rather handy roof shot from railphotoprints.
If anyone has more info id love to hear it
I should add that if anybody wants to add details for other locomotives then feel free
