A brown gauge 1 steam-powered model of the Midland Railway's 4-4-2 locomotive number 2178, with a white sign-strip above the front buffers reading "TILBURY", made by Bing for Bassett-Lowke circa 1926.

Locos 2176-2179 were originally built in 1909 for the London, Tilbury and Southend Railway, numbered 79-82 and had names (2178 was number 81, Aveley), but the names of the "LTSR 79-Class" were removed when Midland took over.
