Description
The last model of steam locomotive to be designed in the UK, the BR Class 9F was built in the 1950s to haul heavy freight trains around post-WWII Britain. With the rush to modernise and shift operations to electric and diesel locomotion, the "old-fashioned" steam engines didn't last long. However, this meant that a lot were preserved in pretty decent nick, including "Evening Star", the last steam engine built for mainline operations in the UK until the reproduction LNER Peppercorn Class "Tornado" was completed in 2008.

So yeah, needed this for the October War AU. Nobody'd done it on Shipbucket yet, so here's my attempt...
