WI Sir Josiah Stamp had thought even further out of the box in 1931 and instead of bringing in William Stanier from the GWR instead had asked Andre Chapelon, then at the Chemin de Fer de Paris a Orleans to bring order to the LMS?

Chapelon had already revolutionised the performance of the de Glehn compounds and as a proponent of compounding would probably have had an easier start with the old Midland faction. Is this feasible and given the full backing of Stamp what sort of engines would he have designed for the LMS?
