61997 MacCailin Mor Thompson K1-1 rebuild of Gresley K4 2-6-0 Mogul

[neildimmer]

Thompson again messing about with Gresley locos
Thompson preferred a simple two cylinder design instead of Gresley's three cylinder designs and rebuilt or planned to rebuild a number of locomotive types. The K4s were no exception, and the first outline drawing for a two cylinder rebuild appeared in February 1945, and incorporated a shortened B1 boiler. A rebuilding order for one locomotive was issued in March, and No. 3445 MacCailin Mor was rebuilt and returned to service in December 1945. No further locos were rebuilt
