On a wintry morning on loan 9F No92043 (renumbered from 92134) powers away from Quorn station on the Great Central Railway with a rake of mineral wagons in tow as she recreates a familiar scene of yesteryear when coal traffic was prevalent in the area. The locomotive was visiting the GCR for a period of several months from the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and was an attend at the Winter Gala in January 2026.
History of 9F No92134
BR Standard Class 9F No. 92134 was one of the final generation of British steam locomotives, built as part of British Railways’ ambitious Standardisation programme in the 1950s. Designed specifically for heavy freight work, the 9Fs were the ultimate expression of steam power in Britain—large, powerful, and highly efficient.
No. 92134 was constructed at Crewe and entered service during a period when steam was already under threat from diesel and electric traction. Despite this, the 9F class quickly proved itself. With its 2-10-0 wheel arrangement, wide firebox, and free-steaming boiler, No. 92134 was capable of hauling enormous loads with surprising smoothness.
Although intended for freight, No. 92134—like many 9Fs— found itself working passenger and excursion trains, where its power and steady riding impressed crews and observers alike. Its operational life was relatively short, reflecting the rapid decline of steam during the 1960s, and it was withdrawn. Fortunately the locomotive now resides on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway.
