Last year Hornby released their brand new tooling of the LNER P2. Now a few months later the steam generator fitted versions have arrived which is something I was very interested in checking out.
Rather than conventional steam generators, this new style atomiser from Hornby only requires water to create the steam effect which syncs up with both sound from the HM7000 decoder and the rotation of the wheels.
While some may see this as a gimmick, others are calling it a gamechanger but either way it shows that Hornby are innovating and pushing the boundaries to bring even more features to our models.
The rest of the P2 model isn't exactly bad either, in fact it's very impressive. Prince Of Wales in particular is a new build P2 still under construction so perfect for my modern day steam operated heritage layout. So join me as I take a close up look at the loco including the new steam generator features to see how this could enhance your layout in the future.
