LMS Jubilee Class 5731 Perseverance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
LMS Perseverance was a Jubilee Class locomotive of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway. Constructed at Crewe in 1936 with the original number 5731, her number was changed to 45731 in 1948. Like many other Jubilees, it was named after a Royal Navy ship, HMS Perseverance, though the name existed on railway engines as far back as 1829: a locomotive named Perseverance ran in the Rainhill Trials. 45731 was withdrawn from service in October 1962 and cut up at Cowlairs in 1963.
