Production Details:
Hornby SR T9 302. This locomotive was completed at
the London & South Western Railway’s Nine Elms Works in late December
1900. Of the 66 built, 35 of the T9 Class were completed at Nine Elms,
with a further 31 examples built by Dübs & Co at Polmadie in Glasgow.
Nicknamed ‘Greyhounds’ as they consistently ran at speeds of up to
85mph, the last in service was No. 30120, which is preserved as part of
the National Collection. Originally paired with a conventional six-wheel
tender, it received an eight-wheel watercart version in July 1935.
Renumbered 30302 after Nationalisation in 1948, it was withdrawn in
September 1952.
