A postcard dated February 1935 showing a colour painting of LNER steam engine No. 2001 ‘Cock o’ the North’ used but on good condition
In February 1933 the LNER authorised construction of two new locomotives for use on the Edinburgh to Aberdeen expresses. Subsequently known as the P2 class the order was later revised to just one locomotive. The frames were cut and laid in February 1934 with construction of the rest of the locomotive following quickly under Gresleys direction. On the 22nd May 1934 Cock o the North rolled out of Doncaster works. The new locomotive was unlike anything seen before and was the first 2-8-2 express passenger locomotive to be built in the UK.. The official press launch took place at Kings Cross on the 1st June 1934 and in the following few days the locomotive was displayed at Ilford, Aberdeen and Edinburgh with people flocking to see the new locomotive.
