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.{{sfn|Baxter|1984|page=142}} The members of the class were fitted with domeless boilers and safety valves over the firebox, and weatherboards rather than cabs.{{sfn|Baxter|1984|p=142}}

Withdrawal

The locomotives were withdrawn between 1888 and 1893.
