A total of 251 of these heavy-duty freight locomotives were built by BR between January 1954 and March 1960, with construction shared between its Works at Crewe and Swindon who built 198 and 53 of them respectively. No. 92018 went new from Crewe to Wellingborough in October 1954 and was withdrawn from Carlisle Kingmoor in April 1967, after a wastefully short career of just 12 years and five months in service. 

Our sleek, sophisticated Class 9F locomotive is paired with a BR1C type tender. It features a five-pole skew-wound motor, sprung metal buffers and NEM couplings, beautifully replicating Riddles' original design. In the accessories pack you'll find crew figures, brake rods, front steps, vacuum pipes and front NEM coupling assembly. And you can upgrade your locomotive to HM7000 control by adding a 21-pin decoder.
