Class 9F 2-10-0 Standard 92185 BR Black Loco (DCC)

Up for auction is a brand new, still in the box, Class 9F 2-10-0 Standard BR Black Steam Loco.

Some interesting information about this Loco:

 251 locomotives were ordered by British Railways, 198 of them built at Crewe and 53 at Swindon. Design work began in the summer of 1951, with the first locomotive entering traffic in January 1954. Following publication of the British Railways Modernisation Plan in 1955 and the proposals to replace steam locomotives with diesel and electric traction, the 9Fs were the last steam locomotives to be built for British Railways. No. 92250 was the last locomotive to be built at Crewe in December 1958 and 92220 Evening Star was the very last steam locomotive to be built for British Railways emerging from Swindon on 18th March 1960.

In keeping with Swindon tradition it was painted in lined green livery, complete with copper capped chimney for which Swindon locomotives were recognised the world over.  The other 250 locomotives were painted in plain black.
