Hi i will endeavour to fill in the blanks from my notes bear with me it may take a couple of days,here are my thoughts for the first link;-
No.3 ex YNMR built by R. Stephenson works No.856 March 1853 later NER No.249
No.20 ex GNoER built by Fairbairn & Co
No.30 Built by the NER presumably at Gateshead Works in 1873 possibly a rebuild of an earlier loco
No.49 built by Longridge works/No.171 for the N&DJR November 1845
No.94 a 44 class built by NER at Gateshead August 1882
Awaiting further info on this pic
No.315 a rebuild of a Y&NMR 2-4-0 at Gateshead Works in 1870
No.349 a rebuild of a Y&NMR 2-4-0 at Gateshead Works in 1870
Interesting one this loco appears to have escaped most reference books No.519 first appears in my records as an H class 0-4-0T in 1891
No.703 dont recognise it.
No.857 dont recognise it.
NBR loco
1037 class 0-6-0T No.1037
1037 class 0-6-0T No.1292
1037 class 0-6-0T No.1293

I think the picture of PELAW II is ex York and Newcastle No.107 built by Charles Todd of Leeds sold to Pelaw Iron Co scrapped in 1925

Loco No 703 is a Stirling GN 2-4-0.

Thanks guys for the replies

No 857 was one of 10 built in 1872/3 by Black Hawthorn. Later they were included with the similar long-boiler Stephenson 0-6-0STs in Class 964.

To add to 4812s information entered traffic July 1873, renumbered to 1748 in the duplicate list October 1888 and replaced in 1893.
