Now before you all start.. I know that the P2s as a 2-8-2 never actually got into British Railways, all having been converted by Thompson to A2/2s (4-6-2) during the 2nd World War. But we can all dream can’t we? This is my dream! And the caretaker CME made do with the P2’s as they were. Taken into BR stock they were given the livery as you see in the photos. This loco comes from the Pro-Scale Kit, one of the most technically correct kits but a right B. D to build, the tolerances are a nightmare. Having said that this has been put together very very well. It features a Portescap RG4 Motor Gearbox & Romfords wheels. Note that the third axle features flangeless drivers thereby emulating the solution that the temporary CME used to circumvent excessive flangewear suffered by these locos whilst on the road between Aberdeen and Dundee. The model runs brilliantly (as you would expect with the RG4) and it does look a picture. Finally it comes with it’s own bespoke box.
