I don't know whether this has ever been posted here, but the ETH Zürich has a photo library with a lot of old pictures of locos as delivered from various British manufacturers to various railway companies, including the LNER and some of its constituents:

Don't worry about the SNCF at the beginning, the good stuff starts pretty soon afterwards. Unfortunately the descriptions are in German, but does it really matter? Enjoy!

Re: ETHzürich E-Pic Library
Well there's fun. It answers a question about the intended function of Stirling's 0-4-2's for the GNR:
Baujahre 1882-1895, 117 Exemlare, Design Patrick Stirling, Class F2, unübliche Achsfolge 0-4-2, GB-üblicher Innenantrieb, Zweizylinder Nassdampf, für Personenzüge im mittleren Geschwindigkeitsbereich
The Swiss know all: for medium speed passenger trains.
