The wheels look quite distinctive but most makes (and there were heaps of them before wwl) went through a phase of strap spoke type wheels. I am looking at the high set flywheel, high chassis rails running to the smoke box and short load space. Can't rule out Foden but could equally be another, even American. Being a fleet in Newcastle I would wager they are coal tippers. Guessing around 1905. Need clearer pic to do better than that.

Have found that the first car owned in Newcastle was not until 1905 which is very late. Many cars from elsewhere had visited prior to this.
Still nothing on the steam trucks but Garrett is the closest I can get from photos but they are not exactly the same.
