[@dmanlewis]

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

[@andrewphillips5174]

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.

[@northstar1950]

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!

[@James101]

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.

[@kitefighter]

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.

[@waynealleyne3600]

Destination so strong it can pull a heavy part of model

[@Nubfist]

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

[@livelylocos1935]

2019?

[@johnd8892]

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.

[@MikesMovies]

Lovely model, mine on order but its taking ages

[@MikesMovies]

Mine is here :)

[@fluber1235]

GREAT yours is way better than mine.

[@mattsmocs3281]

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.

[@Jimboliah3985]

... You know there's a brand new one bing built, right?

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

that gap between loco and tender isnt the worst ive ever seen. the dutch 'blikken tinus' has a mutch bigger gab.

[@cathysexton2726]

Not to mention the 'gap'!

[@charlesbright9233]

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.

[@charlesbright9233]

***** 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.

Nice P2!

[@keithbacon1276]

When will they go back to a proper trailing truck those fixed ones just dont look right

[@w0033944]

Actual;y, the LNER used Cartazzi types, which were fixed (the axle swung, but the outside frames were fixed), so it's much more accurate than a swinging type for this loco.

[@keithbacon1276]

LateNeverEarlyR As pointed out to me fine for the LNER loco that were built like that but the decent models that had proper trailing bogies like the Princess and Duchess it sure looks much better.

[@w0033944]

Keith Bacon Absolutely - for those locos which had pivoting systems it's much more prototypical.

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.

Hi in the video the P2 was pulling some pullman coaches do the pullman coaches have lights in them?

[@brclass125]

Tony Wright uses either older Hornby Pullmans modified or kit built Pullmans. He may have some Lighted Pullmans, but generally these are not ECML prototypical.

[@fijimbondo3639]

Good video

[@rail1505]

Nice looking model but front bogie far too light. Mine derails on points, crossovers and with slightest provocation. I really wanted this model but now I have it, rarely run it.

[@SecondValveSteam]

Yes, The Hornby K1 has the same issue. As soon as you hit points, off it goes!

[@kiwitrainguy]

I solved that problem on mine by sticking a button-cell battery on the front truck over the axle, you don't see it and it works!!

[@fp7026]

LateNeverEarlyR Technically Pullman's are always (and only) referred to as cars in the UK. So Tony is correct...

[@Jerryslife67]

Beautiful model,but,I bet that Pacific has the power to pull those coach's, just not the traction. I bet a couple of rubber traction tire's would do the trick.

[@marsvltor2]

No doubt rubber tyres would have helped the Thompson vandalism in the flesh, too...

Hi tony. I just happened on this vid today here in a Starvebux cawffee (I'm from New Yawk City) in Los Angeles. I keep wondering why Hornby and ( is it ?)

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

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 KZbin for recent news.
