I was eyeing up the Bachmann version at an eyewatering cost and I have just seen the Hornby one running on Tony North Eastern channel, very tempted either way. I have a couple of the Dave Alexander kits to modify some old Bachmann 9fs may still give it ago along with a DJH 9F kit to build..... time dependant. Cheers Steve

I have seen the Bachmann version from Rails of Sheffield they do two weathered 9f versions 92097 and 92060 these are a little cheaper than the Hornby version. They look great. I had my Hornby version that is not weathered on order since January my good lady has bought it me for Xmas haha. I may have to get me a Bachmann version on the quiet hahaha. Rails have them in stock at the moment. I would have gone for the Bachmann if I’d have known they were bringing it out. But I’m happy to have the Hornby one it is superb. 👍👨✈️

Will keep the eye on the prices, Rails just under £300 for sound, maybe see what discounts are on offer at Great Electric Train Show. Agree to keeping it quiet... Cheers Steve

About time Hornby made a 9f with the Westinghouse pumps. I have a rare Hornby 9f 92099 but Hornby made it without the pumps fitted so I modified mine. I had to have the new version hahaha 👍👨✈️

HI Stephen thanks for the message. Yes it is something they should have done before the Crosti version it would have been easier to tool. 92099 Tyne dock loco didn't realise they did one albeit no pumps. Cheers Steve

@@tynedock yeah back in year 2000 Hornby made a Tyne Dock set with some ventilated vans which is very rare with 92099. Then released a few 92099 9F models on their own extremely rare, but these never had the Westinghouse pumps fitted. The real 92099 9f did have the pumps fitted so Hornbys version was not correct. I managed to come across this rare version and I fitted the Westinghouse pumps to it. It’s a tender driven Ringfield type. I have fitted the older Ringfield metal type motor which will last forever. This is a superb runner. The new 92097 Hornby I have just received is fantastic the detail is brilliant it runs great.

Thanks for the info, certainly will need to get one of the new ones; probably will be an XMAS present! Cheers Steve
