The London Tilbury and Southend Railway (LTSR) 79 Class is a class of 4-4-2T suburban tank engines. They were designed by Thomas Whitelegg as a development of the earlier 37 Class.The four locomotives ordered by the LTSR were numbered 79–82 and were named after places in Essex near the LTSR route. After absorption by the Midland Railway in 1912 they were renumbered 2176–2179 and their names were removed.
