IRS Puzzles

The Industrial Railway Society publishes photos of locos for which it has no detail, & asks for information about each loco, location & photo. Can you give information on any of the following?
A long boilered 0-6-0ST
Do you recognize the works plate style of the above loco?
Perhaps an ex-mainline 2-4-0T?
Looks like the early Hetton Colliery loco - note the track

Peter Vout has identified the latter two as Hetton Colliery locos - see pages 118/9 of Colin Mountford's "The Private Railways of County Durham" (IRS, 2004). The first loco No.8 is still unidentified - any ideas?

Peter has identified No.8 as another Hetton loco, a different photo of which appears in Neil Sinclair's 2019 edition of "Railways of Sunderland".
