My expertise on the Southern begins and ends with the Schools Class. 
I'm building one of those in 1 1/2" scale.

Brian Stephenson seems to have books published on the Southern Railway 
and, if you haven't seen them, go to Motorbooks and search on Southern 
Railways.  http://www.motorbooks.co.uk/index.asp

Locomotives built at Eastleigh, Brighton, and Ashford are given in 4 
volumes.  I've no idea if the D3 was built in either of these shops. 
If you find out which shop the LBSC D-3 was built in, a history of 
that shop might have something.

Also,  http://www.semgonline.com/steam/d3-d3x_01.html  which I'm sure 
you have seen.
