Edward Thompson was born June 25, 1881. A WWI veteran, he was highly educated in the field of mechanical engineering and had worked for the British railroads for many years. During that time he would become an outspoken critic of the designs of Sir Nigel Gresley. Upon Gresley's death, Thompson would receive his position as Chief Mechanical Engineer for the London and North Eastern Railroad during the height of WWII. Some people consider him the worst to ever be put in charge of the designs of LNER, but how true is that? Let's talk about it!
"Edward Thompson (25 June 1881 – 15 July 1954) was an English railway engineer, and was Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London and North Eastern Railway between 1941 and 1946. Edward Thompson was born at Marlborough, Wiltshire on 25 June 1881. He was the son of an assistant master at Marlborough College. He was educated at Marlborough before taking the Mechanical Science Tripos at Pembroke College, Cambridge, earning a third class degree. Thompson's academic background contrasts with that of his predecessor Nigel Gresley, who had also attended Marlborough, but then gained practical experience as a pupil at Horwich Works."
