A post grouping development by Greasley, the Class N2 had a power classification of 3P. The solid body was fitted with a most distinctive condenser system which was a particular feature of this locomotive. The BR liveried Hornby model reflects the style and innate power of these passenger locomotives, which spent most of their working lives from the 1920's through to the final days of steam pulling commuter trains in Scotland as well as to and from the Eastern London stations. Powered by a 5 pole motor.
