I don't know all of the loco's movements in the UK, but it is ex Finnish Railways 0-6-0T 794 (or maybe 795), built in 1925 by Oy Tampella Ab.

There is more info online (which I don't seem to be able to link to properly on this mobile device)

Now I am the laptop I can provide those links:

See a Finnish steam train in Barking

Down among the warehouses and scrapyards of Barking can be found a most curious sight - a steam train.
