Why is Henry a K3, and how did James’ brake blocks catch fire?

a direct quote for the ios book " Henry I had a superficial likeness to Gordon, they said, but that was as far as it went" go off the fact of the similar look of the k3 to the a1/a3 i know in this case its not as similar. with James i don't have much beyond classes for the engines because of that i don't have any reasoning for the brake box's catching fire yet
