This is the first P2 I have seen weathered ,and must admit I am not a fan of weathering them to be honest . I like to see them in mint showroom condition but that's just my opinion .
-
Thank you Mike, like the Video .
-
Got the P2 in workshop having firmwear looked at if that don't work looks like a new motor like what Mike did . Not Hornby bashing but got better Rail Road loco than this thing only good bit is TTS. And good job it as it mutes the c.r.a.py noise it makes.

Yes and a great job done by Greame King to as well. I hope Greame sent photos of is work to the powers that be in Hornby.
-
Looking at that Keith they just need to mould / produce a new boddy . Come on Hornby get it together produce the A4 style P2 .
-
I do agree with you. But then I think we are talking about Hornby here.
-
Would be great if the A4 style P2 was produced by Hornby though.
-
Would the P2s have ever run in Wartime Black I know by 1942 most would have been rebuilt . But i think they might look even more of a mighty power unit . A Rail Road version might get a revamp in time Hmm ?.
-
The front wheels on the P2 remind me of a supermarket trol[y got a min of thire own . They will not navigate the extended 4th radius curve I have as the 4-6-2s do, keep jumping off.
-
When the Hornby Class 91 came out 25 year back it would have been the flagship of the Hornby stable , but now would it be up to Rail Road spec ?.
-
Hi Rob, Did you get round to fitting the lamps & brackets.
-
I also think the / a new tooled Class 91 should be top spec & not Railroad spec. I would even buy a other brand ( B ) Class 91 if they built it to a top spec finish .
-
The problem with my P2 it sound awful and front two pony wheels keep jumping off on the bends even at slow speeds. It may end up as a display model only as I am peeeeeed off with it.
-
I would be happy just to be able to buy new motors for the two original Class 91s I have.

It is a pitty THATS LIFE is not still running on the BBC ,Ho I just thought is watch dog still on the BBC. If this was a problem with a new car just launched I think the car would be re-called. Anyone got the number for the BBC, LOL. D.R.M.

I have posted in the past weeks about Hornby fitting the 3 pole skew instead of the 5 pole skew and you all know what my thoughts where. So I still think my P2 TTS looks great ,but the sound is awful performs like a bog standard 1000cc Ford Anglia . People have talked about Bachmann only use 3 pole skew motors yes they do but they are GOOD strong powerful and quiet . It is only the sound functions that mask the awful sound of the P2 motor. D.R.M.

In the Operating and Maintenance Instructions sheet (REF01-91225) for R3246 TTS it say in the General section the three-pole motor locomotive runs from a 12 volt DC .In Routine Maintenance / Motor this locomotive as a life long FIVE-POLE sealed motor. Dose the R 3246 TTS run a three or five pole motor ?. D.R.M.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Is it the bigger buffers that make it 1 centimetre longer. Will be good when Hornby do their Bugatti P2 nose version. D.R.M.

Got e-mail from New Modellers Shop yesterday morning saying my P2 R3246TTS had been dispatched & arrived this morning. Will be running in sometime over the weekend. D.R.M.
