LNER P1 2-8-2 loco
Tender
2 of these powerful locos(2393 and 2394) were designed by Gresley for pulling long freight trains. They were also fitted with experimental boosters on trailing wheels.
Traffic was never really high enough, and paths for longer trains were also difficult to fit i, so their potential was never fully realised.
In 1930s some rebuilding done, with cab alterations being most obvious.
A1 and A3 boilers were fitted in final years.
loco 2394 had a banjo style dome on its A3 boiler.
The end came in 1945 when Thompson decided to withdraw them, the then relatively new boilers and the original tenders found other use. The tenders ended up with the new B2 locos.
Requires finishing off, wheels etc
Scale N (1/148)
