Our British outline model for the end of 2007 was a BR Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 tender locomotive. Produced in two liveries. No. 92220 – ‘Evening Star’ both in kit and made up form, and a black unlettered / numbered version in kit form for owners choice of numbering. The model shown above is the first pilot production model with correct tender. All versions were sold out, by the end of October 2008 Scroll down for the specifications. |

| Above are three photographs taken by Chris Hoddinott of his Aster 9F built as 92245. He says, "This is my first "Aster" build and was a very enjoyable experience throughout. The locomotive has not yet run on a railway but performs to perfection on a test roller-bed. It runs smoothly to almost mid-gear in both forward and reverse. The locomotive and tender plates were obtained from Diane Carney and the 8" cabside numerals were from Fox Transfers. I am now in the process of building a 12 coach train of BR Mk1 coaches for my engine to haul much as the full size engine did on the "Somerset & Dorset" back in the summer of 1962". |
