The Glasgow and South Western Railway (GSWR) 46 class was a class of six 0-6-0 steam locomotives designed in 1862. They were Patrick Stirling ’s second 0-6-0 design for the railway.
Development
The six examples of this class were designed by Patrick Stirling for the GSWR and were built by Kilmarnock Locomotive Works (Works Nos. R4-R9) in 1864. They were numbered 46–51. The members of the class were fitted with domeless boilers and safety valves over the firebox , and weatherboards rather than cabs.
