Road No.: 92203

Model is In BR black livery

The BR Standard Class 9F steam locomotives were designed by Robert Riddles and they were intended to haul heavy freight trains over long distances. No. 92203 was constructed at Swindon Works and delivered on 6th April 1959. 92203 soon hauled heavy iron ore trains from Bidston Dock to Shotwick Shotton steelworks. After being in service for less than nine years, the locomotive was withdrawn in November 1967. The artist David Shepherd purchased 92203 from BR for £3,000 and it was then used on the Longmoor Military Railway. Shepherd named the locomotive "Black Prince".
This classic 9F model and tender is painted in an austere BR black livery. It includes two etched nameplates of Black Prince. This model is DCC-ready and is compatible with our HM7000 21-pin decoder. The accessory bag contains a tender brake rod, an NEM coupling assembly, a hook coupling, a bar coupling, a front foot step for both left and right, a front vac pipe, an AWS guard and two crew figures: a driver and fireman.
