That is an awesome model! Someday I hope to get a model of the S2. It was originally to be a "T" class but became an "S" class because originally it was to be a 4-8-4, but due to wartime restrictions on materials, different metals were used in construction than was originally called for, making the loco very heavy, necessitating the 6 wheel pilot and trailing trucks making it a 6-8-6.
