Welcome to The P2 Steam Locomotive Company "To develop, build and operate an improved Gresley class P2 Mikado steam locomotive for mainline and preserved railway use" The first Gresley class P2 No. 2001 Cock o' the North was completed in 1934 by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) at its Doncaster works. It was the most powerful express passenger steam locomotive ever built for a British railway.
