Bring one of Britain's most distinctive steam locomotives to your layout with the Hornby Thompson Class A2/2 ‘Cock O’ The North’, a highly detailed OO Gauge model featuring Hornby's innovative steam generator technology and factory-fitted HM7000 sound decoder.
The Class A2/2 locomotives were rebuilt by renowned LNER Chief Mechanical Engineer Edward Thompson during 1943 and 1944, transforming Sir Nigel Gresley’s powerful P2 2-8-2 locomotives into streamlined 4-6-2 Pacific express engines. Among the most famous of the class was ‘Cock O’ The North’, a locomotive that remains a favourite among British railway enthusiasts.
This newly tooled model delivers an exceptional level of realism with synchronised sound and steam effects, creating authentic exhaust beats and visible water vapour from the chimney. Controlled via DCC or Bluetooth using Hornby’s free HM7000 app, the locomotive also features a powerful 5-pole motor and all-wheel electrical pickup for smooth and reliable operation.
For 2025, the model benefits from significant upgrades including the latest Generation 2 steam generator, optical speed sensor, flickering firebox effect, and quick-release locomotive-to-tender connection, making it one of the most advanced OO Gauge steam locomotives available.
Suitable for collectors and railway enthusiasts aged 14 and up.
