Help with loco info

[ruston165Participant @ruston165]

Hi everybody,

Im looking for some help to try and find out any history regarding this locomotive, Myself and my friend purchased this locomotive from Station Road Steam at the Harrogate show in 2012, there was no history about the locomotive, all he could tell us was that it was owned by a train driver who was local to him, which is Lincolnshire.

Its a 3 1/2 inch gauge LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee, im not aware of any other models of this locomotive around, and im not aware that anyone does drawings for it. As it is now, its been painted up as 5629 'Straits Settlements' in LMS lined maroon. It really is a stunning model. Also there is eveidence that it may have had a different number/name previous to what it is now. Although im not sure what it was. I trawled the internet and I looked through archives on selling sites such as SRS and steam engines for sale, I'm pretty positive I found it on steam engines for sale, but with it being archived there was no contact details, I tried emailing the site administrator but had no reply.

So basically im appealing to abyone and everyone on here if they have seen it, or know who owned it, built it etc.

I have attached pictures as links to the bottom here, the 1st 6 pictures of it are as it is now, the 7th picture is the picture I found on steam engines for sale.

I hope someone can help me either by replying on here or by private message.

Many thanks,

Lee
