For the steam fans, what's this engine?

I ask as all I know about it, is that it looks rather funny when hooked upto Bitterne.

This: http://www.watercressline.co.uk/thomas/images/ch13h08a.jpg was used at the Thomas events on the Watercress Line recently as Percy. A funny little engine really. Personally, if you removed the GRFP face and the stick on number and it looks like a fun little engine to drive and fire. Especially when you have a small box, containing 1 ton of coal, if that! (3 on the footplate, does look funny though!)

Anyway, for a modeling challenge, does anyone know what it is, who owns it and what references are available for it? Specs and sounds would also be handy. (Although, the whistle is like an owl hoot!)

While I am on the subject of percy in disguise, does anyone know what this engine is and like the above?

And no, they WILL NOT have the Thomas faces, and that ghastly shade of green, I'll paint them into proper BR colours, like BR Black and green, to go with the coaching stock. :) Like what I plan to do with the Austry J94 that we call Thomas. (Although the info is easier to find for the J94, as it hangs around in the yard most of the time.)
 
Interesting little engine! The closest I can get to it is the ex-Lancashire & Yorkshire (L & YR) "21" Class ...... but that's not your little tank.

For one they are definitely industrials so painting them in BR colours would be wrong as well. The second set of photos looks like a Peckett, but I'm not sure what model.

That is a Peckett Yorktown class. :D
