Hornby R264 BR Black Class 9F 2-10-0 steam locomotive *92200
This highly collectable and powerful item is the extremely hard to get hold of Hornby R264 British Rail Class 9F steam locomotive in black freight livery. This is the ‘Evening Star’ of the freight world. This is the last BR steam locomotive ever made in England and is afforded a place in history that can never change. This item is in mint, factory fresh condition. Apart from a demo run to ensure it works, it has never seen, or been on a layout, and has been stored in the box since new. This rarely available 2-10-0 locomotive is finished in BR black livery with co-ordinated boiler bands. Complete with the double chimney, intricate valve gear and the correct, black multi spoked wheels, it is absolutely stunning. Only available for 1 year from 1982 and never re-released in this livery, this item was constructed in the modern manner as self-coloured, ie not painted. This locomotive, numbered 92220, is just as good as the day it was first made and it would be impossible to obtain a better condition item. We removed the model from the box for the digital scan and the model has all detailing exactly as it should be. Highly detailed black copperwork, brass whistles and detailed cab interior are just 3 of the instantly recognizable features of this item and the model is just a beautifully made evocative item. The 6-wheel none corridor tender that houses the motor is in just as mint condition and is clearly marked with the BR icon. It is fitted at the rear with the correct Hornby tension lock coupling. The original Hornby box is in a bright, sharp, unfaded condition with only minimal surface storage scuffs. The box is correctly labelled for the contents it protects. Inside the box, the original undamaged and sculptured white polystyrene surround protects the locomotive and tender. The full colour graphics card that sits between the model and the clear acetate front of the box remain with this model. In all respects, this item is just as good as you could ever wish to obtain.
This item predates digital control but should be an easy conversion to be DCC ready with the correct Hornby chip.
As all of our items are collectables and may have been stored for a long time, we would recommend that if the model is to be run, a light lubrication and dust removal would be appropriate ( where applicable ).
