From its grand introduction in the 1930s to its continued presence on the rails today, the Jubilee Class has carved a legendary status among steam enthusiasts, engineers, and historians alike.
In this in-depth documentary, we take you on a nostalgic journey through the full history of the Jubilee Class:
🔧 Explore the design brilliance of Sir William Stanier, who created the Jubilee as a faster, more efficient alternative to the Royal Scot class. With its distinctive 4-6-0 wheel configuration, three-cylinder power, and superheated boiler, the Jubilee combined beauty with brawn.
🏁 Discover its performance and engineering secrets — from early steaming problems to major improvements like the double blastpipe fitted to 45596 Bahamas, which boosted its steaming capacity by 30%. Learn how these locomotives reached speeds of up to 75 mph while hauling Britain's most prestigious express services.
🌍 Uncover the class’s unique names—inspired by the British Empire, famous warships, and far-flung colonies—including Galatea, Leander, Kolhapur, and of course, Bahamas. Each engine carried a sense of pride, identity, and adventure.
🛤️ Relive the golden era of steam as the Jubilee Class hauled famous trains like the Mid-Day Scot and countless other express services across Britain. See how they earned their stripes on routes out of London Euston, Birmingham, Leeds, and Glasgow.
⚙️ Witness the decline and rebirth of the class as dieselisation swept through British Railways in the 1960s. Most Jubilees were scrapped, but against the odds, four were saved—and they continue to shine on heritage lines and mainline excursions to this day.
