Description Gresley's first Pacific (Not counting Gordon), No. 60113 Great Northern. When Edward Thompson took over as CME of the LNER in 1941, he rebuilt Great Northern into a brand new mixed-traffic design in 1944, to see if his "grand" envision would work. Although it was meant to be a new class, No. 60113 was the only member.

The only reason he chose Great Northern, was to throw mud on Gresley's good name. It's literally disgraceful.
