Answer 4

He is a 2-6-0 Mogul engine number 5 on the North Western Railway. He is modeled after a southern railway locomotive.

Answer 5

James is a 2-6-0 steam locomotive with inside cylinders.  He has a Belpaire firebox.  The wheel arrangement indicates that he is capable of passenger service, but may be best suited to branch lines.  His inside cylinders may limit top speed and loading.  On the other hand his tender indicates ability to take fairly long runs without requiring frequent water refills.  He has no sign of sanding arrangements on illustrations I have seen and no sign of a air compressor for braking, so I presume that James uses the inferior British vacuum brake.

Answer 6

Apparently, he's a Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway Class 27 with an extra axle.
