NBL 4-8-2 Locomotives for New Zealand (1939)

Towards the end of March 2024, I stumbled across a number of journals of the New Zealand Model Railway Guild. One of these, the March 2021 edition, included a pictorial article about J1211 North British 4-8-2 Locomotive No. 24534 of 1939.

40 No. 4-8-2 locomotives which were built in 1939 by the North British Locomotive Company and became the New Zealand Railways (NZR) J class.

Interesting, thanks Roger.
I thought one of the preserved j class was renamed Diana, after the princess. Perhaps it was a ja class.

You may be right. ... One of the J class was named for its owners wife!
