    I have added a new collection featuring Thompson Class O1 (rebuild of Robinson O4)
    The London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) Thompson Class O1 was a class of 2-8-0 steam locomotive designed by Edward Thompson for freight work.
    Because of wartime restrictions on new-build locomotives, they were rebuilds of LNER Class O4 "ROD" 2-8-0s built before and during World War I, although most of the locomotive was replaced during this rebuild. The first LNER rebuild took place in February 1944, at Gorton Works and a total of 58 locomotives were rebuilt to class O1 in total, with the last being locomotive 63856 in October 1949 during the early British Railways era, after which the programme was halted. The main modification to the original GCR Robinson Class 8K 2-8-0 design was the incorporation of a standard LNER 100A boiler, Walschaerts valve gear and new cylinders. The locomotives kept the same numbers those being locomotives 3571, 3578-3579, 3589, 3592, 3596, 3596, 3610, 3619, 3630, 3646, 3650, 3652, 3663, 3670, 3676, 3678, 3687, 3689, 3711-3712, 3725, 3740, 3746, 3752, 3755, 3760, 3768, 3773, 3777, 3780, 3784, 3786, 3789, 3792, 3795-3796, 3803, 3806, 3808, 3817, 3838, 3854, 3856, 3863, 3865, 3867-3869, 3872, 3874, 3879, 3886-3887, 3890 and 3901.
