Anyone got there's yet? I had a wee peek on ehattons, and I must admit I was quite impressed, also tempted...

AHA! So THAT'S what a class 15 is! And I had a photo of one all the time:

taken at Kings Cross around 1964-ish.

I remember those type 15's on the Southend and Southminster lines.

I've just uploaded a photo to the gallery.

Thanks to both Dave and Philip for the photos. I have never see a Class 15 in 12" to the foot scale.

An odd thing - I have a notebook from 1963 which shows I saw two of these double-heading a train at Reading on a summer Saturday, no idea whether it was a freight working or a special (only wrote down the numbers back then!)

Just to make you all laugh, this is what I looked like when the Type 15 photo was taken !

I was 14 or 15 !
