Finished in a striking green livery, this model features sprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings, with a 21-pin socket ready for HM7000 DCC upgrade, making it perfect for both traditional and digital layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"498\" data-end=\"896\"\u003eDesigned by Nigel Gresley for hauling heavy express trains along the challenging Edinburgh–Aberdeen route, only six P2s were built between 1934 and 1936. 2004 was notable for its experimental butterfly valve blastpipe bypass, making each P2 slightly different. All were later rebuilt into conventional Pacifics by Edward Thompson in 1943\/44, adding to their unique place in British steam history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"1225\"\u003ePowered by a 5-pole skew wound motor, the model offers smooth running and reliable performance. Its detailed chassis, cab, and bodywork faithfully reproduce the distinctive wedge-shaped front and design features of the third P2, while the DCC-ready socket allows for future sound and control upgrades using the HM7000 system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1227\" data-end=\"1240\"\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1gs3zre\" data-start=\"1243\" data-end=\"1268\"\u003eOO Gauge (1:76 scale)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1abkshc\" data-start=\"1269\" data-end=\"1312\"\u003eLNER green livery – No. 2004 ‘Mons Meg’\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"11e857e\" data-start=\"1313\" data-end=\"1342\"\u003eDCC Ready (21-pin socket)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1mmlkow\" data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1370\"\u003e5-pole skew wound motor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"36p7df\" data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1426\"\u003eSprung metal buffers and NEM tension lock couplings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"qrv3y1\" data-start=\"1427\" data-end=\"1454\"\u003eMinimum curve: Radius 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ge2dak\" data-start=\"1455\" data-end=\"1503\"\u003eDetailed reproduction of Gresley’s P2 design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1532\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1505\" data-end=\"1530\"\u003eDimensions (approx.):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1qbrsz7\" data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1552\"\u003eLength: 29.6 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"1ercc6\" data-start=\"1553\" data-end=\"1569\"\u003eHeight: 5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-section-id=\"ot2fqq\" data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1587\"\u003eWidth: 3.5 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp data-start=\"1589\" data-end=\"1788\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eA beautifully detailed model celebrating one of Britain’s most iconic express steam locomotives, ideal for collectors and enthusiasts seeking realism and historical accuracy on their OO gauge layout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HORNBY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45882448314529,"sku":"HRB-R30482","price":458.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1008\/9754\/files\/R30482.jpg?v=1775113291","url":"https:\/\/www.hearnshobbies.com\/products\/hornby-1-76-lner-class-p2-2004-mons-meg","provider":"Hearns Hobbies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
