    I have added a collection of new photos of Thomas Whitelegg class 37 4-4-2T locos
    The LTSR 37 class was a class of 4-4-2T suburban tank engines built for the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway in 1897–98. They were designed by Thomas Whitelegg as a development of the earlier LT&SR 1 Class.
    Six locomotives were built by Sharp, Stewart and Company in 1897, with a further six being built by Dübs and Company the following year. The LTSR numbered the locomotives 37–48 and named them after places in Essex, near the LTSR route. After the LTSR was absorbed by the Midland Railway in 1912, they were renumbered 2146–2157 and their names were removed. The Midland gave them the power classification 3P. All passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 on grouping, and initially carried their MR number in LMS service. However, in 1930 they were renumbered 2135–2146, and in 1947 were to be again renumbered 1953–1964, however none had been by nationalisation, and so they were renumbered by British Railways directly to 41953–41964. They were withdrawn between 1951 and 1952,

    I have added a new collection of photos featuring Robert Whitelegg LT&SR 2100 Class ‘Baltic Tank’ 4-8-4T
    The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) 2100 Class was a class of 4-6-4T steam locomotives. Eight were built in 1912, the year the Midland Railway took over the LT&SR, to the design of Robert Harben Whitelegg. Hence, they were numbered in the Midland numbering system as 2100–2107, (also numbered in the 219# range) and none received a name. The Midland gave them the power classification 3P. All subsequently passed into LMS ownership in 1923.
