The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardised locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances. It was one of the most powerful steam locomotive types ever built for British Railways, and successfully performed its intended duties.

In 1919, the Midland Railway built a single 0-10-0 steam locomotive, No 2290 (later LMS (1947) 22290 and BR 58100). It was designed by James Anderson for banking duties on the Lickey Incline in Worcestershire (south of Birmingham), England. It became known as "Big Bertha" or "Big Emma" by railwaymen and railway enthusiasts.

There were 251 9Fs built, 198 at the former LMS works in Crewe and 53 in the GWR’s old Swindon workshops. Black Prince was one of the 9Fs built in Swindon and was delivered to BR on April 6, 1959 – at that time nameless and known only as No. 92203.

BR Standard Class 9F No. 92079 was among one of the 251 BR Standard Class 9Fs built at BR Crewe Works/LMS Crewe Works in 1956 for the London Midland Region of British Railways.

The 9F also proved its worth as a passenger locomotive, adept at fast running despite its small driving wheels, and for a time was a frequent sight on the Somerset and Dorset Railway, where its power and high proportion of adhesive weight were well suited to coping with the 1 in 50 gradient on the Bath extension.

The Class 9F was the last in a series of standardized locomotive classes designed for British Railways during the 1950s, and was intended for use on fast, heavy freight trains over long distances.

This is a list of BR Standard Class 9F steam locomotives that survive in preservation. Nine 9F locomotives avoided being scrapped at the end of steam traction on British Railways.
