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. The Midland gave them the power classification 3P. All passed to the London, Midland and Scottish Railway in 1923 on grouping. They were withdrawn between 1951 and 1952, and none survived into preservation. |
