Manufacturer description

The smart black BR (Early) Class 9F makes a wonderful OO gauge model locomotive addition to your collection. With sprung metal buffers and NEM tecnsion lock couplings, this model is DCC ready with a 21-pin socket. New to March in Cambridgeshire in November 1954, 92031 was one of 251 ‘standard’ heavy freight locomotives built to the design of Robert Riddles between January 1954 and March 1960. Its working career took it to allocations at New England (Peterborough), Annesley, Westhouses and Newton Heath, Manchester, from where it was withdrawn in January 1967 after an incredibly short working life of just 12 years and almost two months. Scrapped at T.W. Ward at Killamarsh, near Sheffield, the locomotive was always paired with a standard BR1F tender.
