Evening Star brings back some memories for me. Way back in the early Sixties when I was an apprentice  the Tech College I attended weekly organised a trip to the British Railways Works in Swindon now long gone. It coincided with Evening Star being rolled out just completed. To see the last British Steam locomotive brand new was to leave a lasting impression. There was a competition amongst BR staff that resulted in the name Evening Star being chosen. I did not see the engine again for another 50 years or so  until when I visited the National Railway Museum in York. I think that there is a photo etched set of nameplates available via model railway specialist suppliers for OO gauge models such as the Dapol one.
