Heart Beat TV series

G'day,
Last nite I was watching the idiot box and surfing the channels for something worth viewing.
I came across an episode of Heart Beat, which I do occasionally watch.
Unfortunately, the episode was almost concluded when I chanced upon it.
Greengrass and some other joker had pinched a soot belcher to go stomping along the track.
Naughty Claud.
I don't recall having squizzed this particular episode before.
I only caught a partial glimpse of the soot belcher.
But, the first numerals were 907.
It also had a red semi-circle name plate above the central drivers which I could not discern.
OK, me Pommy BR soot belcher book tells me that the 907 numerals belonged to WD 2-10-0.
How so ever, the specific soot belcher in the episode did not look long enough to be a 2-10-0.
Was this supposed to be an Evening Star look-a-like ?
Them 9F beasties having 92000 onwards numerals according to me book.
The tender shape also didn't look like what I remember being on the Minitrix Evening Star N gauge model that I once owned moons ago.
OK, I did guzzle some grog with tucker, so me eyesight was a tad impaired.
Hopefully somebody out there will recognize this episode of Heart Beat and enlighten me.
I am reminded of one of me most fav flicks; The Titfield Thunderbolt.
And also the Royal Train episode of Dads Army.
Steve.
