THE Midsomer Norton-based Somerset & Dorset Railway Trust has agreed to purchase BR ‘9F’ No. 92207 from its current owner Keith Bottomley, who has been restoring the 2-10-0 at a private site in Poole, Dorset.
The Trust has been in negotiations with the current owner for over a year in order to confirm the exact condition of the locomotive – which has yet to steam in preservation – and all the available parts included in the sale.
