Delve into Historical Details of the Thompson B1

Originally designed for medium mixed traffic by Edward Thompson, the B1 Class 4-6-0 locomotive became a staple on the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) network. An impressive total of over 400 of these locomotives were manufactured between 1942 and 1952. With a focus on cost-effective production in the wake of wartime economies, the B1 series proved versatile and robust throughout its service years, despite being retired in the 1960s due to policy changes in British Railways.
