Great model and modelling with a plausible back story . 
It reminds me of the coal concentration  yard at Chessington North where a similar 03 skulked . After a while , a fitter removed the engine covers as per your photo . Whether this was for scrap or repair, I’m not sure … it was 30 odd years ago .

Great modelling and  expertly set in historical context . Informative and entertaining, as usual.

Another source  is “The strange death  of Liberal England “ by Dangerfied which broadens its scope onto  general industrial and societal tensions . All to end in the Great War.

Creative and amusing . I note Modelu figures for not need priming but do they need rinsing or degreasing , please ?

im about to paint a batch and your item is timely and informative.
