The 9F is a beautiful example of steam locomotive design. They got it right the first time. I'm glad British Rail stopped drivers from reaching top speeds of 90mph; otherwise, it would only end badly, eventually. Thanks for an excellent presentation. .
I've got 3 questions Which one is Dave? Which one is Matt? Which one is George? Very well done there I bet you will never forget that best wishes Philip xx
@@BufferBoi I believe 9F Evening Star was the last British main line locomotive to be built at Swindon in 1960. I seem to remember it was in green out of the works and sadly, is no longer steaming but is in preservation.

I applaud absolutely everyone who turned this back into a living locomotive again

Dave the driver
George the fireman
And matt
Were the F9 class fitted with speedometers?
It’s a 9F not an F9 and yes they were
@@BufferBoi Thanks for the correction. As a child, I'm now in my late sixties, I was mad about steam and the 9F was my favorite!
@@johnnyrvf they are stunning, shame there are no running examples in BR green
