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.
