I've added some details about Evening Star's naming ceremony including a part of the speech - this is transcribed from a BBC audio recording made at the ceremony, but, as I'm relatively new to all this, I'm not sure how to cite it - can anyone help? Andywebby 17:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

(
help)The article says that one exceeded 90mph when hauling a passenger express. So I suppose that answers the question. Although they weren't really designed for high speed. They would have been much slower than that when hauling freight, probably in the 25-50mph range I would think. G-13114 ( talk) 17:08, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
The RA of 9 and axle load of 15.5 Long tons does not seem correct - particulary with the BR (WR) Blue designation. I have seen a note that the RA classification on the Eastern region ER was different - so was RA region dependent? Clarification and additional information would be very useful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 20.133.0.13 ( talk) 17:07, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Although it says that the BR Standard Class 9F Locomotive were the last class of steam locomotives built in the United Kingdom, Wikipedia also says that the last Hunslet Austerity Tank Engine was built in 1964, four years after the last 9F Evening Star was built in 1960. Could someone explain this to me to clear up this confusion? -- 75.68.122.13 ( talk) 14:42, 1 February 2015 (UTC)Jacob Chesley the Alternate Historian

I changed "one of the most powerful built in Britain" to "one of the most powerful built for British Railways" as Beyer Garratts built in Manchester for South African, East African and Australian railways were far more powerful. 9Fs were quite weedy in comparison.
For example, 9F tractive effort = 39,667 lbf EAR 59 class = 83,350 lbf — Preceding unsigned comment added by 116.48.246.243 ( talk) 07:47, 6 April 2020 (UTC)
so since its been a year or so since 92212's boiler ticket expired, does that mean its awaiting overhaul? 73.250.53.193 ( talk) 16:01, 21 August 2021 (UTC)
