STEAM HIGHLIGHTS

HORNBY BR CLASS 9F 2-10-0

Hornby has offered a variety of ‘9Fs’ over the past 50 years, most GAUGE recently in the Railroad range. However, this will be a completely new product, tooled to a high specification and with a choice of tender types. Three versions are due initially, including 92167 which was fitted with a mechanical stoker. Unsurprisingly, the iconic 92220 Evening Star – the last main line steam locomotive built for British Railways – is also to be replicated in this initial batch, in fully lined BR green. There’s even talk of a possible Tyne Dock-equipped version in the future… What’s planned? R3986: ‘9F’ 2‑10‑0, No. 92167, BR black early emblem R3987: ‘9F’ 2‑10‑0, No. 92194, BR black late emblem R3988: ‘9F’ 2‑10‑0, No. 92220 Evening Star, BR lined green late emblem Price? £209.99
