K324C Kit – BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 (BR1F Tender)

BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0

The 9F was the last and unquestionably one of the greatest steam locomotive designs ever produced in this country. Though many of these big 2-10-0s saw only a few years of service, their tremendous power, reliability and versatility made them a favourite with the operating departments of all BR regions. There is a choice of three different tender types these were originally a response to regional preferences although with later transfers around the country the distinctions became blurred.

We recommend purchasing our GB30R-3M motor/gearbox and WS K324 wheelset with this kit.

BR1F Tender

This kit has the high-capacity BR1F tender, the largest of all the BR Standard types. This was carried by Nos 92010-14/30-44/67-76/87-96/140-9/68-202, all of which were Eastern Region engines although Nos 92010-14/30/1/2/3/43/67-76/87-96 were later transferred to the LMR. No 92001 of the LMR later acquired a BR1F tender in a swap. Nos 92183-202 of this batch carried double chimneys.

The body is largely in whitemetal, with fold-up etched cab, and a mass of steam fittings executed for the most part in lost-wax brass for easy soldering. The etched smoke deflectors feature all the panel work and inner bracing of the original and the cab interior is complete down to the last detail. The kit also includes alternative chimneys and other detail variations to enable most members of the class to be modelled.
