Trying Google's Gemini image tool to colorize old pictures:
Starting with the black and white image, and then two different colorization attempts. It is notable that it omitted the person in one case, also the steam blowing downards in both. Original was probably shot on orthochromatic film.

I met one of these in Bangkok, and it took a fair amount of hand waving and dancing before I figured it out.

This museum (www.railwaymuseum.org.uk) is my favourite museum (with the Science Museum being a close second). This is the Stirling Single No 1 -- and there is now a very nice model in OO gauge (from Rapido) which I own.
You should spend the entire day here exploring these glorious machines.
