Hi all,
Embarked on this project after having a bunch of green wheels left over from giving my Flying Scotsman black ones instead.
The P2's were built in the 1930's and designed by Sir Nigel Gresley. They went through many looks throughout their time, but the most unique and original was the one i've built below.
All were scrapped, but two new ones are being built for mainline running! The first, No 2007 'Prince of Wales' is due to be finished in 2020, built by the same folks who built No 60163 'Tornado'.
The build is 6-wide with Power Functions in the tender. I'm looking into ways of detailing it with stickers and prints in future!
This started as a digital design, like many engines I build:
