This highly collectable and powerful item is the extremely hard to get hold of Hornby R065 Silver Seal British Rail Class 9F steam locomotive ‘Evening Star’. This is the last BR steam locomotive ever made in England and is afforded a place in history that can never change. This item is in mint, factory fresh condition. It has never seen, or been on a layout, and has been stored in the box since new. This rarely available 2-10-0 locomotive is finished in BR matt green livery with orange boiler bands. Complete with the double chimney, intricate valve gear and the correct, black multi spoked wheels, it is absolutely stunning. Only available for 2 years from 1977 and never re-released in this livery, this item was constructed in the modern manner. This locomotive, numbered 92220, is just as good as the day it was first made and it would be impossible to obtain a better condition item. Highly detailed bright copper work, brass whistles and detailed cab interior are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item and the model is just a beautifully made evocative item. The 6-wheel none corridor tender that houses the motor is in just as mint condition and is clearly marked with the BR icon. It is fitted at the rear with the correct Hornby tension lock coupling. The original Hornby box is in excellent condition. On the right hand end flap, the box is correctly labelled for the contents it protects. The box only has minor surface scuffs from over 30 years in storage. Inside the box, the original, undamaged, sculptured, white polystyrene surround protects the locomotive. The full length full colour graphics card that sits between the model and the clear acetate front of the box remain with this model. The original instructions numbered R065228021979 remain with this item. In all respects, this model is just as good and original as you could ever wish to obtain and it really is a lovely model for the discerning collector.
