Restored Jubilee Class 4-6-0 45596 "Bahamas" heads north over Dandrymire Viaduct with the Bahamas Railtour charter train from Keighley to Carlisle on a stormy February 22nd 2020. On a day like this with the southern part of the Yorkshire Dales under water, it's hard to imagine anything less like the Bahamas than this!
On a damp overcast morning in Somerset steam locomotive 45596 Bahamas makes hard work pulling her rake of 11 coaches through Witham Friary with 1Z70 0700 Paddington to Minehead West Somerset Steam Express, the last one of the season.
The train had stopped at Frome to take on water, was about 5 min down, and was regaining momentum on a slightly wet rail.

London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class 5596 (BR number 45596) Bahamas is a preserved British steam locomotive. It is named after The Bahamas.
The locomotive was built as a standard Jubilee Class in 1934 by the North British Locomotive Company for the London Midland & Scottish Railway (LMS). In May 1961, under the ownership of British Railways, Bahamas was the recipient of several experimental modifications aimed at improving the steam engine. In July 1966, Bahamas was withdrawn from traffic. A preservation society was founded and raised the money to purchase it from British Rail to prevent it from being scrapped. After repairs by the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds Bahamas was transported to Dinting Railway Museum, near Glossop, Derbyshire
Stanier Jubilee Class 4-6-0 45596 "Bahamas" heads towards Bedwyn with the return Steam Dreams excursion from Salisbury back to London Paddington.

LMS Jubilee Class 5596 Bahamas is a preserved British steam locomotive.
45596 Bahamas was built in 1934 by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow for the London Midland & Scottish Railway. 45596 was designed by Sir William Stanier and entered service in 1935. 45596 is the only 'double chimney' Jubilee locomotive after being fitted with it in 1961 as part of a trial. This trial was the final attempt by British Railways to improve the performance of its steam fleet.
In 1967, Bahamas was purchased from British Railways for preservation by the Bahamas Locomotive Society. After this, it was sent to the Hunslet Engine Company in Leeds after which it appeared in March 1978 carrying LMS crimson lake livery as No. 5596. Its latest overhaul (2013-2019) at Tyseley Locomotive Works was supported by the National Lottery Heritage Fund and Bahamas ran again in 2019 on the main line for the first time for 25 years. As No. 45596, it now runs in BR green livery.

A rather ignominious exit from Bangor Station at the rear of the1Z18 - compensated by some glorious evening sunshine !
One side polished but there is still work to do on the other.
A couple of weeks ago I accompanied Mark to Wansford on the Nene Valley Railway where Bahamas had spent a week running services on the line. Prior to its main line move to Crewe it therefore needed a good clean. Mark and I volunteered for the duty on 31st August. That day we only had time to concentrate upon the brightwork and others including Mark returned later to give the paintwork a good fettle.
Time has conspired against me and I have been absent from Flickr for a week or so but should be back online for the next week.
