4-6-0 Class 6P Jubilee LMS Profile and Models

The London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class is a class of steam locomotive designed for main line passenger work. 191 locomotives were built between 1934 and 1936. They were built concurrently with the similar looking LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 and were nicknamed Red Staniers (due to their crimson liveries) and Jubs. Although built over only a three-year period the class had many variations due to improvements being made as they were built. Until the late 1950s, Jubilees were the largest express engine normally found on the lines running out of St Pancras. They practically monopolized the role of the main express engine, with the occasional Royal Scot popping up, or radiating from Derby. They could nevertheless be found on main lines throughout the former LMS system. These locomotives had a bit of a mixed reception during their early working days, but while their reputation did improve over time, they didn't reach the same amount of praise as the Black 5 locomotives. They were the last express engines from the Big Four days still in service at the end of steam in 1967. Four have been preserved.
