I am really look forward it when they have complete the P2, I was read in a old book (The Observer's Directory of British Steam Locomotives 1980) that the P2 2-8-2 was conversion into 4-6-2 after rebuilt because of their long rigid wheelbase was not found to be too satisfactory, so if the new Prince of Wales have 2-8-2 would it be better performance for future mainline rather than 4-6-2?, also the No.2001 had Lentz poppet valves are the new Prince of Wales use same or different valves?
