It was worth the wait - P2 arrives at last
Friend Peter has at last finished the P2 after 5 years of struggle!
We decided, after his suggestion that my purchase of a kit to make 2002 in it's original form, would be best transformed into the streamlined form that it spent most of its life as a 2-8-2 in.
Having made that decision, I then felt that 2001 had a better name!
The front end is mostly scratch built having decided that some A4 parts weren't right the kit manufacturer offered some parts of the streamlined kit that he was developing, but the chimney was not adequate and so on.....
The chassis is a JPL models one with decoration details from the Ace kit.
Much fettling and modification has had to be done and Peter handed me the result on Saturday muttering words like ..never again....
The result is just great, although running in and some fault finding with the very long wheelbase still is to be done, but the loco is just stunning looking - thanks Peter!
