This was a specific event that running on the East Lancs Railway called Legends of Steam. Check out your local heritage railways, they often have visiting steam engines as well as their usual home fleet of engines.

I think the first one is very slightly spoiled by seeing the modern vehicles in the background. Otherwise all 3 are very good, and could have been taken in any year. 

If memory serves me correct and it was a number of years ago probably 25+ now,  SNG was down at The Watercress line Mid-Hants Railway and we stood next to it, I remember pointing out 112mph plaque on the engine showing that it was the fastest loco for a time, to our son who was probably around 6-7 at the time.
