The P2 Steam Locomotive Company

In addition to its striking looks, incredible power and undoubted glamour it also has around 70% commonality with 'Tornado', including the boiler, tender and many other detailed fittings.

The Trust has therefore conducted a feasibility study into the construction of a new Gresley P2, to be numbered 2007 as the next in the series. 

In September 2013 The P2SLC announced that it will build the 7th member of the Gresley P2 class steam locomotives. The project will demonstrate how the most powerful class of express passenger steam locomotives to operate in the UK can be fully realised. No. 2007 will be named 'Prince of Wales'.
