caption_attribution_description: English: Resplendent LNER locomotives at York, 1939Seen outside York North Locomotive Depot (now the National Railway Museum), and evidently recently repaired and repainted, at the beginning of WW2 in September 1939, we see Gresley K3 2-6-0 No. 1387 (built 10/29, 1946 No. 1880 then 61880, withdrawn 9/62) in front of D49/2 'Hunt' 4-4-0 No. 247 'The Blankney' (built 7/32, 1946 No. 2741 then 62741, withdrawn 10/58).
context_page_description: The Great Northern Railway Class H4 was a class of 2-6-0 steam locomotive designed for mixed-traffic work.
  The type was a more powerful development of the earlier H3 class and was notable at the time, as the 6-foot-diameter boilers were the largest fitted to any British locomotive to that date. After formation of the London and North Eastern Railway, the type became known as class K3 and was adopted as an LNER standard design. They got the nickname "Jazzers" after the rhythm of their exhaust beat and the unbalanced gyratory movement.
