Missing Pages, Ian Allan 1962 ABC British Rlys Locos

Since my childhood I've kept hold of what was originally my elder brother's Summer 1962 Combined Volume.

Over the years, one leaf has evidently disappeared from the book without trace. I deduce that its two sides feature the class descriptions for Southern Region classes alphabetically preceding K, and from the separate numbering list I believe the (then) surviving classes to have been A1X, B4, C, C2X, E2, E4, E6, G16, H & H16. I suspect the pages in question are numbered either as 31 & 32, or as 63 & 64, depending upon the side of the first pictorial section of the book where they appeared.

Does anybody have a copy of this book giving confirmation of the missing page numbers please, and might somebody be kind enough to consider sending me a scanned copy of just those two pages, simply to complete an "old friend"?

Scans now gratefully received from a fellow local railway modelling historian.

Is that the red one with a Blue Pullman on the front? I have my very battered version somewhere; held together with sticky tape in numerous pages.

Even though it is now 60 years ago, I am still shocked to leaf through the steam pages and remember that every single one of them had been withdrawn within 6 years. A very depressing thought.

That was the one.
