PProduction Details:
Mons Meg' is a stunning example of one of NiNigel
Gresley designed the P2s for hauling heavy express trains along the
demanding route between Edinburgh and Aberdeen. Six were introduced
between 1934 and 1936. The first three locomotives differed in
appearance, the third having the wedge-shaped front similar to the A4s
which was adopted for the remainder of the class. The first two also
later converted. Even then, 2004 was fitted with an experimental
butterfly valve blastpipe bypass and the last two also had design
differences, meaning that none of the six were built the same. All were
subsequently rebuilt by Thompson as conventional Pacifics in 1943/4 by
Gresley’s successor, Edward Thompson.gel Gresley's P2 engines, sporting
