London, Midland and Scottish Railway Jubilee Class 5596, British Railways number 45596, named Bahamas after The Bahamas, is a preserved British steam locomotive. It was built as a standard Jubilee Class locomotive by the North British Locomotive Company in Glasgow in 1934, delivered on 26 December 1934 and in traffic from 12 January 1935. In May 1961 British Railways gave it experimental modifications to improve the engine, including a double blastpipe and exhaust that brought a 30 percent increase in steaming capacity. It was withdrawn in July 1966, and a preservation society raised the money to buy it to prevent it being scrapped.
