London Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS) Jubilee Class No. 5690 (BR No. 45690) Leander is a preserved British steam locomotive.
[edit] Overview
5690 was built at Crewe in March 1936 and named in Leander after HMS Leander, which in turn was named after the Greek hero Leander. After nationalisation in 1948, she was renumbered 45690 by British Railways.
After being withdrawn in 1964, Leander was rescued from Woodham's Scrapyard in Barry, South Wales and is now preserved.
