LNER P2 2-8-2 Loco
2002 Earl Marischal
original condition
Class was first express passenger 2-8-2 loco in Britain. Designed for use on heavily graded Edinburgh to Aberdeen line.
First 2 had squarer front end designed to clear smoke and steam away from cab. This as not so successful on second loco, so additional smoke deflectors were fitted to this loco.
The final 4 locos had A4 type wedge front ends, and the first 2 were subsequently rebuilt with wedge front ends.
Non corridor (A3 style) tenders were used.
Thompson rebuilt all these locos to 4-6-2 locos(A2), and they ran until 1959/60.
2 new locos are in the process of being built now. One in original style, one with A4 wedged front end.
Chassis and wheels required.
N scale(1/148)
