The Tyne Dock 9Fs were some of the most powerful steam locomotives to have run in Britain and now these impressive locomotives are reproduced in OO scale for the first time. Taking the award winning Branchline 9F as the basis, new tooling has been produced to accurately model the ten locomotives that were fitted with Westinghouse Air Pumps and sent to Tyne Dock. Sporting a Plux22 DCC interface and pre-fitted speaker just like Branchline's standard 9Fs, this Tyne Dock example is a fitting tribute to one of BR’s most successful standard designs. The Tyne Dock 9Fs would see just ten years of service before their withdrawal and the locomotive depicted by this Bachmann Branchline SOUND FITTED model, No. 92097, is presented in a typically weathered, work stained condition befitting the fleet.

The Branchline OO scale BR Standard Class 9F locomotive is an imposing model and with its high fidelity, exquisite detailing and powerful performance, it forms the perfect basis for the new Tyne Dock models. With an impressive weight and a presence befitting the strongest of BR’s standard steam locomotive classes, the Branchline 9F is a fine choice to haul prototypical trains on your model railway. Supplied complete with SOUND FITTED, you can enjoy the added dimension of realistic sound effects when operated on analogue control or DCC straight out of the box!
