British Railways 2-10-0 No. 92203 'Black Prince'

Posted by: Russell Newman on Nov 30, 2025 @ 18:11:16
The is a re-write to the first part of the history of BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 No. 92203 "Black Prince", which is a most famous 9F in preservation. Built at Swindon in April 1959, No. 92203 was one of the class members built with a double chimney. No. 92203 was allocated new to St Phillips Marsh depot in Bristol from April 1959 and had shed allocations at Old Oak Common in London from September 1960, Banbury from May 1963 and finally Birkenhead Shed from September 1966. Birkenhead was the last stronghold for the BR Standard 9F 2-10-0 locomotives in greater number in the final years of steam. Prior to being withdrawn from service by British Rail in 1967 No. 92203 was one of the last two steam locomotives to be overhauled at Crewe Works where it left in January 1967 a month before BR Standard 7MT Pacific No. 70013 "Oliver Cromwell" was outshopped as the last overhauled steam locomotive at Crewe. No. 92203 had retained its BR1G Type tender it had been built with for all its working life and was withdrawn from service in November 1967 whilst based at Birkenhead it had been employed on hauling the heavy iron ore trains from Bidston docks to Summers Steel Works at Shotton in its final years of service with BR. It had the honour of hauling the very last steam-hauled iron ore train from Bidston docks to Shotton on 6th November 1967, being driven by Richard Summers himself at the regulartor who was head of Summers Steel Works at the time. For that last run No. 92203 had been especially cleaned up by volunteer cleaners for the occasion. After being withdrawn from service from British Railways No. 92203 was bought strate out of service for preservation by the famous railway and wildlife artist David Shepherd for £3,000. Following purchased by David Shepherd No. 92203 was moved under its own steam from Crewe to its new home at the Longmoor Military Railway at Longmoor Camp in Hampshire in early 1968. The Longmoor Military Railway was set up in 1903 by the Royal Engineers to train the military in railway operations and ran between Bordan and Liss where it joined the mainline network. It was an ideal home for some preserved steam locomotives at the time in the late 1960s and early 1970s which No. 92203 was joined by David’s other steam locomotive he had BR Standard 4MT 4-6-0 No. 75029 "The Green Knight", and was also the home of the Bulleid Society who owns the ex-Southern Railway Bulleid West Country Class Pacific No. 21C123 "Blackmore Vale" and for the Merchant Navy Locomotive Preservation Society, owners of No. 35028 “Clan Line”, which David Shepherd was president of those two societies, along with a few other preserved steam locomotives that were kept there at the time. It was while at Longmoor that No. 92203 was named "Black Price" with nameplates fitted done in the same Great Western style like those fitted to No. 92220 "Evening Star". In its last years before it closed the Longmoor Military Railway was used as a film location for the railway scenes in films such as "The Great St. Trinian’s Train Robbery" and "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang", No. 92203 was even a film star at Longmoor when it stared in the film "Young Winston" when it was dressed up to look like a South African steam locomotive for the film.
