92204 3862 1950s Rattery Bank

The 38xx Left laira in July 1962, the 9F was off OOC (officially Southall briefly). 92204 , pictured here working a short fitted feight on Rattery Bank between Totnes and Plymouth , was in late March of 1960 tested on the Somerset and Dorset line as a prelude to her working both passenger and freight rosters on that line between Bath and Bournemouth in company with 92203 , 92205 and 92206 for the 1960 Summer Services . During such evaluation period she took a 350 ton passenger working over the difficult route with it many banks , the intention being that the Standard 9F 's would eliminate double heading , but heavy passenger workings still required a pilot engine , especially with the increasing popularity of the South Coast resorts at that time
