Bachmann 32-859BSF 9F Class 92184 BR Late Black BR1F Tender (DCC-Sound)

PROTOTYPE The British Railways BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 was introduced from 1954, with a total of 251 built at BR's Swindon Works (53) and Crewe Works (198). Impressive in both size and performance, the 9Fs' lives were cut shockingly short with No.

92220'Evening Star' - the 999th BR Standard to be built and the final steam locomotive outshopped by British Railways - entering traffic in 1960, only 4 years before the first examples were withdrawn. Evening Star' itself did not fare much better and was withdrawn in March 1965 after just 60 months in traffic - thankfully the locomotive was saved for the National Collection. Despite the early withdrawals, some 9Fs continued in traffic until the final months of steam on British Rail and the last was withdrawn in June 1968.

MODEL The Bachmann Branchline OO scale BR Standard Class 9F locomotive is an imposing model and with its high fidelity, exquisite detailing and powerful performance, it is no wonder this is an Award Winning model.
