what is it?
The London, Tilbury and Southend Railway (LT&SR) 2100 Class was a class of 4-6-4T steam locomotives. Eight were built in 1912 to the design of Robert Harben Whitelegg. Initially, they were to be designated as the 87 Class, but as the Midland Railway took over the LT&SR that same year, they were given new numbers, becoming 2100–2107 under the Midland system with a power classification of 3P. None received a name.
