RMweb Premium Metropolitan H Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 I thought about voting for "Raleigh" as my first bicycle was one of theirs, but then I thought some more and decided to vote for; "Novelty" - which sort of sums up my knowledge of this class!

LNER4479 Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Well, in this case, I'll leave others to nominate some of those stirring names and I'll stick with 5690 'Leander'. Very much a favourite amongst preserved locos for me, I remember her arriving at Dinting in 1973, fresh out of Derby works with one of the most stunning livery applications ever to adorn a preserved loco. Don't care much for the black livery she currently carries. And to anyone who says LMS Jubilees don't do much for them, take a look at this bit of video and tell me that the hairs didn't stand up on the back of your neck ... a bit 6 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarrMan Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I'll go back to Express. Most suitable name for an express loco. As for Shovell - !!!!! Lloyd 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2750Papyrus Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I have to confess to owning a model of Leander, but primarily because Mrs 2750 was fed up with looking at green and black engines. Though not a Jubilee fan, I am interested in naval history and the class does commemorate some famous warships and admirals. My vote goes for Shovell (Sir Cloudesley), perhaps less well celebrated than those who fought in the Elizabethan or Napoleonic wars and now possibly best known for his loss in the Association shipwreck in the Scilly Isles. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Named after Admiral Sir Cloudesley Shovell , whose main claim to fame was that he could spell his name 23 different ways ( or was it 24?). Said to have been one of the most outstanding sailors of his era, sadly lost at sea in a violent storm. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium TrevorP1 Posted January 15, 2021 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 15, 2021 Leander for me please Gilbert. Always impressive when I saw it and the first steam loco I saw on the S & C back in 1981ish. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told that when Comet (Coaches, later Models) started and it was just coach sides, the chaps named the Company Comet as the other supplier of coach things back then was named Phoenix!!!!! They really didn't look like Jubs, same as rebuilt Pats did not look like Pats. I saw some Jubs, mainly at Brizzle.

robmcg Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 Cab style? Works for Patriots.... and boiler accoutrements? I am not even slightly knowledgeable but do like Jubilees. The 'normal' kind, unloved workhorses that they were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
