I want one, I haven't even got a railway to run it on but I still want one

What a beauty. Perfect condition. Strong train. A complete beast. 🙂

"I recommend it!" Tony is a great spokesman. He can sell that loco all by himself.

This is kind of accurate since the P2s in their original state were powerful machines before rebuild

The P2 Class Locomotive has glorious details.

My P2 seems to have been on order for ever. Now, seeing it in the flesh - well, video - I'm looking forward to it more than ever. Teak coaches are waiting! Tony.

P2s are really stunning! Beautiful runner.

Great, lovely looking model! Cheers, Jack

Wow what a little stunner of a Loco,I think I will have to get one of those for my collection.. Thank you for the excellent review..

great review Tony nice to see U back, look forward to future issues of your videos with brm....

Excellent film about this amazing value loco,I didn't think it could pull that about of those coaches.It looks stunning.

Thank you so much Mr Wright nice review

Wow a lot of works gone into that well done

Really cant wait for this! On the number of coaches front, I managed to pull 28 with a Hornby B17.

This model looks amazing

Haulage of Hornby P2 is marvelous

this is probably the first youtube video i watched and its still good

Mines on order cant wait lovely model

I came back to this video when Hornby released their version of that A2/2.

Wow it looks great. Really worth having.

Been waiting for an RTR P2 all my life. Gresley's masterpiece in many respects (although few firemen would agree!). Absolutely magnificent in every respect...

I got one same as your, beautiful and powerful. I brought P2 dcc ready 82 pounds brand new from the Amazon also I’m fitted dcc sound 42 pound. Running like real life without problems. Yes recommend it 👍🏼

Very nice Review Sir!

Persuaded my Dad to get one (a TTS version at approx 135pounds) and he is extremely happy. Whats more he can operate it on his Dcc only line easily, due to the wheel arrangement of 2-8-2being easier to put on his track than a Pacific.

My favourite locomotive of all time Cock Of The North as in original build.

I might have to put together a European model if I stay on these for any time at all :) Makin it look good! Thanks!

I think Hornby should be congratulated on producing this model as the prototype only existed in this form for such as small time, as you have pointed out. So I suspect it will have a limited market, unless you model the ECML, Scottish section where they spend a fair amount of their short time, but huge appeal all the same, splendid!

Nice P2!

I got her today at Shildon and she's beautiful.

got mine on order

When she comes out, I will be getting her.

Fab my congrats to Hornby good for me to have Hornby Premium Pullman coaches for it to pull.

amazing good and creative

What is the date of this model being released?

GREAT yours is way better than mine.

The wheelslip from cock of the north as a pacific is quite realistic, very nice review, I’m considering purchasing one

I like trains so much

Destination so strong it can pull a heavy part of model

I'm sure this can pull even more. I have a smokey Joe on my outdoor railway and because of the very well used slightly corroded but not rusty wheels it can pull 10 full size coaches that live outside on a permanent basis non of these are gliders as they have covered thousands of KM in their time.

Is this the rail road model what exactly should I look for to get this exact model? is she loco drive ?

@johnd8892

3 жыл бұрын

Yes loco drive. All Hornby models produced for about the past twenty years of new tooling have gone back to loco drive. A new tooling of this locomotive and the versions with an A4 type nose have been announced by Hornby for release this year. Search Hornby P2 on KZread for recent news.

I wish I had that much space for a layout

Do the wheels wobble?

Very impressive demonstration and a good quality review. The valve gear looks esquisite. The problem with RTR plastic steam locomotives is that they look like plastic, especially in LNER Green. To my eyes, the DJH Pacific looked more realistic.

The P2 is a beautiful child. The A2/2 is it, in about a decade or so, due to puberty.

Did Mr. Thompson have any choice about rebuilding the P2s, given there was a war taking place at the time? Granted the conversion could have been done better, but I sense there was something inevitable about it. The P2 loco looks "A1" in model form.

***** From what I have read in an interview he gave to O.S. Nock, I think the term "hatred of Gresley designs" is an exaggeration. It was, after all, Gresley designed components that he used in his scheme of standardisation: eg B17 boiler for the B1. He also called in an outside and independent judge to inspect the conjugated valve gear used on 3 cylinder locos.

2019?

Wow nice train model

Works very well on this super high standard trackwork. Such a high standard that even Tony Wright had someone much more skilled at trackwork construct the track. The average buyer using Hornby set track tight curves and points might not get such good results.

I can't find the railway version, just the railroad

The track is not Peco. It is handbuilt from C&L components for turnouts and C&L flexi-track.I think the joins are made with scale fishplates not rail joiners.

At the minute my P2 C.O.C.K O THE NORTH is in Doncaster works ( TAG MODELS) having a new 5 pole screw motor X9108 fitted .The original 3 pole screw motor would not pull the skin off a rice pudding.

Sad that the P2 did not survive irl but even in model form it shows the power of a mikado but as a passenger engine. The p2 had a chance if it was made so the pilot and trailing can pivot and had freight drivers. She would be the strongest locomotive to be in both freight and passenger even when most mikados would be replaced by Berkshire and northerns, p2s would still be around.

WANT ONE

I used to have Hornby (Hornby-Dublo) when I was a youngster, many moons ago! I never remember them having the strangely flat paint appearance of the new ones today. To me every new Hornby has a strange paint job and not as realistic as the older ones. No doubt they operate well and many people like them. The other locomotive, the Pacific, looks a lot better, but is not as powerful.

If you want a P2 Mad About Trains in Gainsborough has them

Also, if you need any L N E R coaches, I recommend L N E R teak composite coaches
