Background
The first design by William Adams, the 12 members of the 46 Class represent an interim design to supplement the Beattie Well Tanks that were already in service. All were built from 1879, and were intended for light suburban passenger traffic around London and the South Coast on the LSWR railway network. They were later rostered on local passenger services under the ownership of the Southern Railway, though none of the class survived into British Railways control. In consequence, none have survived into preservation.
