NORMAN SPINKS AN IMPRESSIVE 5in. GAUGE LIVE STEAM `BR STANDARD CLASS 9F` STEAM LOCOMOTIVE part
Description
NORMAN SPINKS AN IMPRESSIVE 5in. GAUGE LIVE STEAM `BR STANDARD CLASS 9F` STEAM LOCOMOTIVE part scratch-built from castings thought to have been supplied by Norman Spinks and using British Rail works plans overall length 5ft. 10in. and of all-metal construction 2-10-0 wheel classification with both the coupled and tender wheels on sprung axles the engine has yet to be fired and requires minor work to complete Provenance: The British Railways Standard Class 9f was designed by Robert Riddles for fast and semi-fast heavy good trains (in excess of 900 tons) and was one of the most powerful steam engines to have been employed in this country. It was a highly successful class and 251 examples were built at Crewe and Swindon works. The 2-10-0 wheel arrangement gave a favourable axle loading and the engines were able to operate on all regions of the network. The first engine was introduced in January 1954 and the last in 1960. This was the last mainline steam engine ever constructed by British Rail and to mark the occasion she was named `Evening Star` the only member of the class named while in normal service. The engines had a scandalously short working life and were all withdrawn between 1964 and 1968 when steam traction ceased on all the main network. Nine members of the class have survived into preservation in varying states of repair. `Evening Star` is preserved at York and forms part of the National Collection. Other Notes: The engine comes with a quantity of parts enabling completion.
