===Construction history=== Introduced in January 1954,{{r|Walford|p=76}} the class comprised 251 locomotives, of which 53 were constructed at [[Swindon Works]], and 198 at [[Crewe Works]]. The locomotives were numbered 92000-92250.<ref name=Herring /> The last member of the class was constructed at Swindon in 1960, the 999th "[[BR standard classes|BR Standard]]" to be constructed, and the last steam locomotive to be built by British Railways. To mark the occasion, a competition was run within the [[Western Region of British Railways]] to choose an apt name, and the locomotive was given the name and number of [[BR Standard Class 9F 92220 Evening Star|92220 ''Evening Star'']].<ref name=Herring /> Many of the class lasted only a few years in service before withdrawal when steam traction ended on the mainline in Britain. Withdrawals of the class from everyday service began in May 1964, and had been completed by June 1968. {| class="wikitable collapsible" |+ Table of orders and numbers<ref>{{cite book| last=Bradley |first=Rodger P. |year=1984 |title=The Standard Steam Locomotives of British Railways |publisher=David and Charles |location=Newton Abbot |pages=44, 45, 48β50}}</ref> !
