92212 is a British Railways Standard Class 9F 2-10-0 locomotive, one of the final batch of steam locomotives produced by British Railways at Swindon Works. In service it worked on the Somerset & Dorset line; in South Wales and in North-West England, but spent about half of its short working life based at Tyseley depot in Birmingham. It was withdrawn in January 1968 after 8 years in service.
Following withdrawal , the loco was bought by Woodham Bros at Barry. The In 1976 a group of prospective owners, the “9F Locomotive Society”, made a request to bring 92212 to the SVR if the Society was successful in acquiring the engine; the SVR’s Rolling Stock Committee agreed to this request<ref>SVR News 40</ref>. However when the loco left Barry in 1979 , it was for restoration on the Great Central Railway, which . That restoration was completed in 1996.
92212 is currently owned by Jeremy Hosking and is based on the Mid-Hants Railway. It was hired to the SVR in winter 2001/01 and again in summer 2011, appearing in [[Steam Locomotives visiting the SVR for galas | galas]] on both occasions. ==References==<references />
