It was the bottom pic that first got my attention then I traced the locos History and it was at Gateshead at the right time so I checked with a couple of mates and bingo put a bid in.

Can the original poster try to get the loco number as I cant quite get it from the print. This will enable me to narrow the area down where it is taken from and perhaps get more info from the RA site. Its very similar to the four shots ive posted of the Cramlington derailment.

Tried to get the loco number to help with area, think its LNER 7165 an ex GER J69 0-6-0T if it is its pre 1946. Allocated to Stratford. An F4 took this number post 1946 allocated to Lowestoft. Can the owner of the original pic confirm loco number please. I love these detective stories.

The pics show I think Gateshead and Tweedmouth cranes in attendance...
