R3983 LNER, P2 Class, 2-8-2, 2007 P Prince of Wales™ - Era 11. By 1944 the whole Class had been withdrawn. The 'A1 Trust', builders of the A1 locomotive 'Tornado', are currently in the process of building a continuation of the P2 class; 2007 'Prince of Wales'.
What a special model.
This was one of the first to use the new-style Hornby drawbar connectors, and it seems to work well.
Detailing appears good. Fit and finish are good with no signs of excess glue anywhere.
I didn't use the Hornby-supplied crew, but it's a nice idea to supply them.
Operation is smooth, powerful and is capable of higher speeds.
Room inside the body permits additional weight to be added, which I did to aid adhesion, thus haulage as the motor is more than capable.
Pricing depends on your individual deal - mine was a good one.
For the model, I definitely recommend it.
