Ok I confess I too have an interest in steam and other forms of transportation… USed to use it to pass the time in the winter when there are/were little flying things to occupy me.

They are making a new build LNER A1. It is (to be) called Tornado and will feature IIRC the TTTE crest.
Evening Star is a BR Standard 9F class locomotive.

The series with Pete Waterman was very good indeed. He no longer owns 4472 – now owned by the nation as NRM and Richard Branson have recently purchased her (IIRC).
He (PW) got death threats I believe because he painted 4472 in the BR colours the dark (Brunswick) green from her traditional LNER (Apple?) green.
Had the pleasure of doing a short ride in the cab of an 8F at the SVR once. And I also seen in my time preserved German Steam on their mainline – they didn’t have a great deal left to preserve after the early 40’s.
Hope of some help or interest to you all.
