The following table gives details of locomotives owned by the London, Brighton and South Coast Railway (LB&SCR) from its creation in July 1846 until the end of 1849.

The locomotives acquired by the LB&SCR at its formation came from the division of those owned previously operated by the Joint Committee of the South Eastern, London and Croydon and London and Brighton Railways. The division took place in 1845 but only took effect after the Committee's dissolution in January 1846.

The majority of the locomotives acquired were owned or ordered by one of the three constituent railways, but some had been ordered by the Joint Committee. After the Joint Committee's dissolution, some locomotives were ordered by John Gray, the new locomotive superintendent, from Timothy Hackworth and delivered during 1847 and 1848. Others were purchased from Stothert & Slaughter between 1847 and 1849. After this date the railway's new locomotives were designed and built by John Chester Craven, usually at Brighton railway works (see List of Craven locomotives).
