Prototype information

^* Class names often change over the lifespan of a locomotive, so this is not necessarily the class name used by the operator in the period modelled.

Hornby BR (Heavily Weathered) Crosti Boiler 9F Class, 2‑10‑0, 92028 – Era 4 is presented in pristine condition. The model wears a black livery with the early British Railways emblem and carries the running number 92028. It measures 266 mm in length.

The locomotive is DCC ready with an 8‑pin socket and is fitted with a 5‑pole skew‑wound motor. It can negotiate a minimum curve of the second radius (438 mm) and draws power from the driving wheels only. Coupling is supplied by NEM/tension‑lock fittings and the motive power is represented as steam.

The model represents the British Railways Standard 9F (Crosti) class designed by Robert Riddles and built at Crewe Works in 1955. Only ten of the full‑size locomotives were produced, featuring a 2‑10‑0 wheel arrangement and operating under British Railways with the early crest.
