LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee Type - 130,000 Miles between Overhaul




The Ten-Wheeler has to be one of the most versatile and popular wheel arrangements in steam locomotive history. 130K miles may not be a lot by modern diesel standards, but is impressive nevertheless. Steam locomotive aesthetics are, of course, a subject of  much debate, but in my book Belpaire fireboxes and high drivers get an A.
