92203 'Black Prince' climbs Kelling bank with the 0.20 Sheringham to Holt service. The 9F makes easy work of a short passenger service up a modest bank such as the one at Kelling compared to the heavy iron ore trains it worked when in use on British Railways. The 9F represents the design zenith of the steam locomotive but all this came too late as, by the time of its introduction in 1959, steam was already on the way out. Indeed, 92203 (un-named) only saw eight years in service on British Railways!
