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 had 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 LSWR. The class were numbered 147, 460–478 and 526, and were a small-wheeled version of the 445 class.
