Hello Andrew,
Is it a photograph you're after? There is a line drawing here: http://www.steamindex.com/locotype/gerloco.htm#sinclair
The GERS list a drawing for the tender here: http://www.gersociety.org.uk/GERS%20Sales%20List.pdf (ref. L65)
HMRS list two photographs in their catalogue: http://www.hmrs.org.uk/photocat/HMRS-Ph ... -CIE-E.pdf refs. ADB905, ABA603.
There is a photograph of one of these locomotives painted white for the wedding train of Edward VII in 1863 in CJ Allen's book The Great Eastern Railway pp. 79. It isn't very large and probably wouldn't scan well. It also shows the locomotive "after modification by W. Adams", so no good if you want an original.
That's all I can find just at the moment. If I were you I'd contact the GERS and see what they can suggest. They're the most likely people to have/know of this kind of material.
Happy New Year,
Jonathan
