4498 Sir Nigel Gresley was the 100th Gresley Pacific built by the Great Northern Railway / London and North Eastern Railway. It was officially named in a ceremony at Marylebone station in November 1937. Among those present was Bullied who had been brought back to Doncaster by Gresley as his assistant in 1923 and who left to become the Chief Mechanical Engineer (CME) on the Southern Railway in 1937. Bullied had joined the GNR at Doncaster in 1901 as an apprentice under Ivatt, the CME. After a four-year apprenticeship, he became the assistant to the Locomotive Running Superintendent, and a year later, the Doncaster Works manager until he left in 1908.
The locomotive was built at Doncaster and entered service in 1937 following a naming ceremony at Marylebone station in November of that year. The locomotive was mainly based at London King’s Cross with a spell at Grantham during World War II. The locomotive was briefly re-numbered 7 before becoming 60007 when the LNER was merged into British Railways.
