The '''NER Class 3CC''' ([[London and North Eastern Railway|LNER]] Class D19) was a [[4-4-0]] [[steam locomotive]] designed by [[Wilson Worsdell]] for the [[North Eastern Railway (UK)|North Eastern Railway]] and built in 1893. Only one was built (number 1619) and it was a [[Compound locomotive|compound expansion]] version of the simple expansion [[NER Class M1]]. The 3CC was originally classified '''M''' but was re-classified '''3CC''' in 1914, at the same time as the '''M1''' was re-classified '''M'''.

==Overview==
Number 1619 was built as a [[Thomas William Worsdell|Worsdell]]-[[August von Borries|von Borries]] compound with two inside cylinders. In 1898, it was rebuilt as a three-cylinder compound with one inside high-pressure cylinder and two outside low-pressure cylinders, as a test-bed for the development of [[Walter Mackersie Smith]]'s ideas.

==Classification==
Aside from its compound expansion, the 3CC was similar to several other NER classes and they are summarised here:

* HP = high-pressure cylinder, LP = low-pressure cylinders

==Operations==
Around 1907 the Class 3CC locomotive was allocated from the Leeds area to [[Botanic Gardens TMD|Hull Botanic Gardens engine shed]] where it generally worked fast trains between [[Hull Paragon railway station]] and Bridlington. In 1926 it was transferred to Bridlington although its duties remained unchanged until withdrawal in October 1930.<ref>{{harvnb|Yeadon|1995|p=72}}</ref>

==Accident==
On 31 March 1920, the Class 3CC locomotive was derailed at {{rws|York}} station whilst hauling a passenger train.<ref name=Hoole3>{{cite book |last=Hoole |first=Ken |author-link=Ken Hoole |title=Trains in Trouble: Vol. 3 |year=1982 |publisher=Atlantic Books |location=Redruth |isbn=0-906899-05-2 |page=24 }}</ref>

==Legacy==
Number 1619 was a one-off but W. M. Smith went on to develop a four-cylinder compound system in the [[NER Class 4CC]] (LNER Class C8) [[4-4-2 (locomotive)|4-4-2 locomotive]]. Number 1619 was withdrawn in 1930 and was not preserved.

Smith's three-cylinder compound system was also used in the [[GCR Classes 8D and 8E|Great Central Railway classes 8D and 8E]] (LNER Class C5) 4-4-2s and achieved its greatest success in the [[Midland Railway 1000 Class]] and the [[LMS Compound 4-4-0]]. The [[GNRI Class V|Great Northern Railway (Ireland)'s class V]] was also a Smith compound.
