The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the [[Cold War]] from 1954-1960 in the aftermath of [[World War 2]] since 1945 . The 9F was intended for use on fast, heavy [[freight]] trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever constructed in Britain, and successfully performed its intended duties. The class earned a nickname of 'Spaceships', due to its size and shape. They were numbered 92000–92250. {{BRstds}} [[Category:British Rail]] [[Category:British Railways steam locomotives]]
