9F 92214 Cock O the North

At Pickering a little while ago now

 

 

Named in 2011 as Cock O' The North by the previous owners, and fully lined out in fictional BR Lined Black livery of which the 9F's never carried. It is fully operational at the Great Central Railway.

 

On loan at the East Lancashire Railway between 2006 and 2008. It was bought by the 92214 Locomotive Group (based at the Midland Railway Centre), and fully restored to working order. Like no. 92203 this locomotive was named after being preserved. The name had been carried by three locomotives on the former London and North Eastern Railway (LNER), of classes P2 its rebuilt form as A2/2 and C11. The name was suggested by Valerie Walter, the Company Secretary of the company owning the locomotive (PV Premier Limited), whose grandfather served with the Gordon Highlanders during the First World War (Cock o' the North being the traditional epithet attached to the Chief of the Gordon Clan of Scotland), with no prior knowledge that the name had been used by the LNER for some of their locomotives.
