BR 9F 2-10-0s update 20 December 2016
This locomotive continues to be an important project for us and we remain keen to produce it. At present there is a huge output of BR 9F locomotives, both in kit form and as ready-to-run locomotives from several sources, so it would not be economically sensible for us to make yet another at the present time. We have therefore deferred the project for two years to give the market more time to settle down. One important factor is that we want our 9F to be the best and this will require input of new technologies that we are currently working on as part of our continuous improvement programme. We also want to build the Crosti and rebuilt Crosti versions as we think these are very interesting locomotives from both the visual and technical point of view. So please be patient with us we will put this locomotive into production as soon as we can.
