She was also a Gala visitor in autumn Autumn 2010.
Leander is an LMS 4-6-0 Jubilee class locomotive, designed by Sir William Stanier. The Jubilee class was an update of the LMS Fowler 3-cylinder Patriot or ‘Baby Scot’ design of 1930, incorporating a Stanier/Swindon design of tapered boiler and modified cylinders. Jubilees were mainly used on ‘second division’ express passenger services, and were rated as 5XP by BR following nationalisation.
Leander returned to the SVR for the Autumn Steam Gala of 2010, which celebrated the 40th anniversary of the SVR’s official opening. Leander is still owned by the Beet family, and is currently (2015) operated on the main line by West Coast Railways.
