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. None has survived to preservation.

Because of wartime restrictions on new-build locomotives, they were rebuilds of LNER Class O4 "ROD" 2-8-0s built during World War I, although most of the locomotive was replaced during this rebuild. The first rebuild took place in February 1944, and 58 locomotives were rebuilt to class O1 in total. The programme was halted after nationalisation.

British Railways

The locomotives passed to British Railways (BR) in 1948 and were given BR numbers in the range 63570-63920 but this range included many unrebuilt O4s. [Ian Allan ABC of British Railways Locomotives, summer 1961 edition, part 4, pp 36-37]
