The London and North Eastern Railway Class J38 was a class of steam locomotive designed for freight work. They were designed by Nigel Gresley and introduced in 1926. A total of 35 were built and they were used in Scotland. All passed into British Railways ownership in 1948 and they were numbered 65900-65934.

The J39 was a later development, exchanging the J38's 4'8" driving wheels with larger 5'2", 289 J39s being built. Some of the J38s were later rebuilt with J39 boilers.

Dimensions

* BR Power classification, 6F
* Locomotive weight, 58 tons 19 cwt
* Tender weight, 44 tons 4 cwt
* Boiler pressure, 180 psi
* Superheater, Yes
* Cylinders, 20"x26"
* Driving wheel diameter, 4' 8"
* Tractive effort, 28,415 lb
* Valve gear, Stephenson (piston valves)

Preservation

All J38s were withdrawn between 1962 and 1967, with none surviving the cutter's torch. There are plans to build a replica of an LNER J38, along with a J39, for preservation in a few years to come.
