LT&SR 51 Class

Steam and Early Locomotives

The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway 51 class was a class of 4-4-2T steam locomotives. Twelve were built by Sharp, Stewart and Company to the design of Thomas Whitelegg for the railway in 1900, and the North British Locomotive Company supplied an additional six in 1903. The railway numbered them 51 to 68 and named them after places in London and Essex. They entered Midland Railway stock in 1912, when the Midland gave them the power classification 2P and renumbered them. One was withdrawn in 1947 and the remaining seventeen entered British Railways stock in 1948, though only three survived to carry their new numbers. The last was withdrawn in 1953, and none was preserved.
