King George Vs Silver Jubilee was an irresistible marketing opportunity for
King George Vs Silver Jubilee was an irresistible marketing opportunity for the railways. While the LNER launched the glamourous Silver Jubilee streamlined express, its arch-rival the LMS nipped in first and grabbed the Silver Jubilee name, albeit for a more mundane locomotive. Jubilee class leader, No. 5552, did receive a special high gloss black livery with chromium trim.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from Memory Lane Prints, we are transported back to the 1930s when the King George V's Silver Jubilee became an irresistible marketing opportunity for the railways. The LNER and its arch-rival, the LMS, both sought to capitalize on this momentous occasion in their own unique ways. While the LNER introduced the glamorous Silver Jubilee streamlined express, it was actually the LMS that managed to secure the coveted name for one of their locomotives. This particular photo captures a significant moment at Crewe in April 1935, as an engineer carefully places a chromium plating spade onto the valve gear of Jubilee class No. 5552 Silver Jubilee. The attention to detail is evident as we observe this worker meticulously ensuring that every surface of this steam engine receives its special high gloss black livery with chromium trim. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation and excitement as preparations are underway for King George V's Silver Jubilee celebration. This image not only showcases industry and labor but also symbolizes a sense of national pride and loyalty towards royalty during that era. It serves as a reminder of how even mundane objects like locomotives played a role in commemorating important milestones in history. With its rich historical context and stunning visual composition, this photograph truly encapsulates an era where metalwork met grandeur and craftsmanship merged seamlessly with celebration.
