Correct me if I'm wrong, but was Morning Star a 9F, and the last 9F was named Evening Star in 1961. I stand to be corrected. I've read somewhere that the first 9F was named Morning Star and the last 9F to be built for BR was Evening Star.
70025 was called "Western Star"; 70021 was "Morning Star". Both were Britannia class pacifics - not the 4-6-2 wheel arrangement. "Evening Star" was a class 9f numbered 92220, distinguishable by its 2-10-0 wheel arrangement.
