leslie10646 Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 At 0820 this morning (so awful light, made worse by being handheld by a panting man!). But, hey, it's steam! Good start to the day! Enjoy, Leslie MAQ03930.MP4 8 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galteemore Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Incredible given that she was once considered unrestorable and was simply bought as a source of parts ! Have a close look at her centre driving wheels…..https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/two-lms-jubilees-ended-up-in-woodhams-yardthe-other-one-45690-leander-left-in-1972this-one-45699-galatea-due--473581717037851916/ Edited February 18, 2023 by Galteemore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galteemore Posted February 18, 2023 Share Posted February 18, 2023 (edited) Funnily enough the Jubilees were influenced by Irish politics…a large number of the class were named after places that the UK had constitutional ties with. Up to 1938 one was thus named ‘Irish Free State’ - then renamed to ‘Eire’ !! Four were also named after the Irish provinces. https://www.farishnspares.co.uk/graham-farish-by-bachmann/jubilee-eire-name-board-b6012.html Edited February 18, 2023 by Galteemore 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
