Standards, Bullieds and GWR loco groups do the same; standardisation across GWR types is legendary A few months ago Didcot was asked by one project for the pattern for - I think - a steam fountain. After a few emails, I believe the foundry ended with orders for half a dozen or more! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
woodenhead Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 It moves - rolling chassis test for the P2 2007 Lot of nice rivet detail on the etched sides, the wheels look a bit 1970s Hornby though, need to be blackened 6 2 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium John Besley Posted February 3, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 3, 2022 Is it going to be DCC fitted... Or have a tender drive as I can't see the 5 Pole Motor... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They must have cheaped out with a 3 pole motor rather than spending a couple of quid more on a skew-wound 5 pole. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam88 Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 The axles look rather on the long side for some folk, will it even stay on the rails with those tiny flanges? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

woodenhead Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 New images of the P2, going to have a role in the next Harry Potter adventure - it flies and bizarrely they have now fitted it with DCC sound but Charlie sent the wrong sound file and it just makes a sound of a WW2 air raid siren 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rumblestripe Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Popped in today for a look at the progress on 2007 and took a few pictures... Not a common view of a steam locomotive! Looking from the footplate into the back of the smokebox Nuts! 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did take quite a few shots whilst I was there. I didn't want to flood this thread with pictures. I should add that the guys there could not have been more friendly and informative. Fascinating to see her/him/it(?) at this stage of the build. I am told that they hope to have the boiler delivered and installed later this year.
