The two locos are (nearest) Stanier 4-6-0 "Black 5" known at Patricroft as "Mickeys" They were mixed traffic engines mostly used on medium distance fast passenger trains. The second engine is a Stanier 2-8-0 8F freight loco Number 48517 used at Patricroft mainly on coal trains.
Last time I was at York Black 5 No 5000 was in residence but it was in a poor position for photographs. You might try the North Yorkshire Railway or Shildon museum.
Models of both locos are readily available in the model trade or at swap meets.
There are plenty of photos of Patricroft sheds, this particular view is taken from inside the East shed looking East towards Manchester.
