One of the most eagerly anticipated model releases that we have been waiting for is Hornby’s 00 scale recreation model of Gresley’s 2-8-2 P2 class 2001 ‘Cock O’ The North’.  The below video is a sneak preview of what this Model in action and it has to be said that it looks very impressive indeed.

On a related note, there are plans to recreate this locomotive in 1:1 scale – yes a full size beast!  For more details, go to www.cockothenorth.co.uk
