LSWR 460 class

The LSWR 460 class was a class of express passenger 4-4-0 steam locomotives designed for the London and South Western Railway by William Adams. Twenty were constructed by Neilson and Company and Robert Stephenson and Company in 1884 and one in 1887, Adams having originally ordered ten locomotives from each manufacturer in 1884. In 1887 Robert Stephenson and Company built an additional locomotive for display at a Jubilee exhibition in Newcastle upon Tyne, after which it was sold to the London and South Western Railway. The class were small-wheeled versions of the 445 class. All passed to the Southern Railway at the grouping in 1923, and withdrawals started the following year, with the last two being withdrawn and scrapped in 1929.
