As they were to serve on Scottish expresses, they were given famous names from Scottish folk lore.\u003cspan aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"370\" data-end=\"530\"\u003eSix locomotives of the class were built; introduced between 1934 and 1936. In 1936, the Class P2 were given streamlined fronts, similar to that of the Class A4.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"532\" data-end=\"904\"\u003eThe first locomotive of the class, No. 2001 \u003cstrong data-start=\"576\" data-end=\"597\"\u003eCock O' The North\u003c\/strong\u003e, was introduced in 1934. It was built at Doncaster and fitted with Lentz-type rotary-cam actuated poppet valve-gear and a double Kylchap exhaust, type chimney. The P2 introduced a vee-shaped cab front, designed to give a better view forward. The same design was later used on the A4 and V2 express engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"1247\"\u003eThe second locomotive of the class, No. 2002 \u003cstrong data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"969\"\u003eEarl Marischal\u003c\/strong\u003e was completed by 1935, also at Doncaster, and was fitted with Walschaerts valve gear, as used on Gresley Pacifics, No. 2002 was unsatisfactory: with smoke obscuring the driver's view and wind tunnel experiments led to an additional second pair of smoke deflectors being fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1249\" data-end=\"1731\"\u003eNo. 2002 proved to be more efficient than 2001, and consequently, the following four locomotives were built with Walschaerts valve gear.

The wedge-shaped front was found to lift the engine's smoke clear of the driver's view; No. 2002 was altered to this form in 1936, and No. 2001 in 1938.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1733\" data-end=\"2011\"\u003eThree further locomotives, 2004 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1765\" data-end=\"1777\"\u003eMons Meg\u003c\/strong\u003e, 2005 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1784\" data-end=\"1801\"\u003eThane Of Fife\u003c\/strong\u003e and 2006 \u003cstrong data-start=\"1811\" data-end=\"1831\"\u003eWolf Of Badenoch\u003c\/strong\u003e were built at Doncaster in 1936.
