LMS Jubilee Class 5596 Bahamas

London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class 5596 (BR number 45596) "Bahamas" is a preserved British steam locomotive.

Overview

5596 was built in 1935 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow. She was named "Bahamas" in 1936 after the Bahamas, which were then part of the British Empire. After nationalisation in 1948, "Bahamas" was renumbered 45596. In 1961 she was unusually fitted with a double blastpipe and chimney. She was withdrawn in 1966 but subsequently preserved and currently based at the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway.
