Having completed nearly 90,000 miles of test  running since new, Sir Nigel Gresley's W1 4-6-4HP 10000 entered  Darlington Works on 21 August 1935 for what was anticipated to be a  major overhaul and modification. During this period Gresley decided that it was time to rebuild 10000 as a three cylinder locomotive with a  conventional firetube boiler and 10000 was moved to Doncaster Works on  13 October 1936, the first drawing for the modification being prepared  at the end of November.When 10000 was finally released  from Doncaster Works in November 1937, it was a significantly different  locomotive; being fitted with a diagram 111 boiler that was very similar to the diagram 108 boiler fitted to 2006 Wolf of Badenoch, and with a  streamlined casing to the same pattern as the A4.
