History
92214 was built by British Railways at their Swindon workshops and delivered new to Banbury shed (84C) in 1959.
The locomotive was moved to Cardiff Canton shed (86A) in the four weeks ending 2nd Dec 1961 and to Bath Green Park shed (82F) in the four weeks ending 16th May 1964, to help out with summer excursion traffic on the Somerset and Dorset line.
The locomotive was moved again to Newport Ebbw Junction shed (86B) in the four weeks ending 22nd June 1964. It finished it's service at Severn Tunnel Junction shed (86E), where it was out of use by July 1965.
92214 was condemned on 9th August 1965 and remained in store at 86E shed until October 1965. It was then sold to Woodham's scrapyard in Barry (South Wales) and moved to Barry Docks in October 1965.
Recorded mileage for the locomotive as at 28th December 1963 was 85,029 miles.
After spending 15 years at Barry, the locomotive was purchased for preservation by the Peak Railway 9F Loco Co. Ltd. In July 1991 ownership reverted to, and is held in trust by, the 9F Steam Locomotive Charitable Trust Ltd. The loco moved to Buxton in Derbyshire on the 11th December 1980. It was the 117th locomotive to leave Barry. It was subsequently moved, at the end of the 1980's, to the Midland Railway Centre at Butterley, Derbyshire, where restoration was completed. The locomotive is currently running at the East Lancashire Railway.
92219, the penultimate steam locomotive built by British Railways, and the same class as 92214, is also owned by the group and based at Butterley. There are no plans to restore it at present. Some brief details of this locomotive are included in the Spec's section.
