Here's a story about this Steam Locomotive.
This Steam Loco is a Black 5 4-6-0 No. 44874.
Seen on another one of the end of steam specials is 5MT 44874 in Manchester Victoria. Enthusiasts share a platform with the soon to be redundant equipment for steam traction. Note the typical dress of the boys for the period. Shorts and Bags. A closer look would reveal Ian Allan Locospotter books and an assortment of pens.
