The postcard refers to British Railways ( ex-LMS ) "Jubilee" class
4-6-0 no 45627 Sierra Leone ( class built from 1934 onwards ).

Giving my age away, I remember as a teenager seeing these locomotives
in revenue service on the Liverpool-Newcastle expresses near my home
in Yorkshire.

The first locomotive was named "Silver Jubilee" to commemorate the
event ( in 1935 ) and the following few were named after Colonies and
Dominions until the names ran out, famous Naval Officers, battles and
warships followed.

FYI

45563 Australia
45564 New South Wales
45565 Victoria
45566 Queensland
45567 South Australia
45568 Western Australia
45569 Tasmania

Just to show how sad and lonely some of us are, 45637 Windward Isles
was scrapped in 1952 as it was involved in the Harrow & Wealstone
Disaster in 1952. I remember it well as we had travelled from Euston
to Crewew on the previous evening.

If I remember correctly 45637 was the first of the jubilee class to
be
withdrawn from service.
http://www.jubilees.co.uk/images/photos/45637a.jpg

(I guess one cannot say "retired", in the case of an accident.)

http://en.allexperts.com/e/h/ha/harr...rail_crash.htm

It was almost a decade afterward that the Jubilees
began to be withdrawn.

Ooops, methinks I made a gross error
with the "railways" gang?
I was attempting to have a more global connotation,
I arrived in Australia with the term "Lorry" and soon dispensed
with that, in preference to "Truck"
Real men in blue singlets drive "Trucks"
I'll be cognisant, in future on this NG to refer to
the appropriate issues as "Railways"

"Civilised countries"? evidently you haven't visited Australia of late,
pensioners bashed, car jackings, Indian students targeted,
My own Prime Minister using the "F" word.
I am no longer quick to puff out my chest when declaring my Country.
