Amazing!!!!! Three days from payment to receipt of goods, all the way downunder from Rails. Also a note on the invoice stating the loco had been tested.
Edit: locomotive ran perfectly out of the box.
Hornby P2 #2001 "C0ck of the North"
Re: Hornby P2 #2001 "C0ck of the North"
Hattons GBP55.00
Rails GBP64.00 (I paid about GBP72.00 about three weeks ago)
Looks like the second release of the P2 was not as popular as the first!!!!!!

Handsome looking things with either front IMO, very tempted to pick one up.
Re: Hornby P2 in final streamlined form
And all these years later, Hornby have provided the streamlined P2 in 'full fat' format, and very good too all around: looks right, runs and pulls well, what more could anyone want?DonnyRailMan wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2013 12:40 pm I think the streamlined version of Cock Of The North would be a good idea ...
Hornby could build a set of P2s as they have done with the A3s , A4s...
Well, since you ask:
Let's pretend that Thompson didn't meddle, and have the streamlined P2's in BR lined green.
There was another LNER mikado from Gresley, the P1. https://www.lner.info/locos/P/p1.php A 9F before the BR std 9F
With Heljan's announcement of the U1 Garratt, thatwould be all of Gresley's big engines for the LNER available. Perhaps among the many competing brands there's enough capacity to mop up his GNR and LNER tiddlers: J6, J38, J39, K2, K4, O1, V4.
