LMS Jubilee
 

I need some information about 45571 South Africa, 45595 Southern Rhodesia & 45621 Northern Rhodesia. When these loco were on BR's books, around the 1950's until they were cut up where they black or red? :confused:

Evening Syd, I do not think they were red and it is a toss up if they were Black or Brunswick green, I will try and find out for you.

I have just had a look Syd and I can only find B/W shots of these loco`s, the only one that looks green is 45595, the other two appear to be black.

Thanks for the update Chris. I did not even know they existed until I stumbled across a site that makes name plates and smoke box numbers for them.

back track did an 3 page speed on jubilees last year, i have a look for you the names do ring a bell and i thought most were green but may be worng on that one

This site has extensive photo collection of the class plus details of their shed allocations,unfortunately it didn't extend to livery.
