The Indian locomotive class WV was a class of 2-6-2T tank locomotives used on 5 ft 6 in (1,676 mm) broad gauge lines in India.[2]
The four members of the class were built by Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows, Lancashire, England, and completed in 1942. They were later converted into class WM engines, which were of 2-6-4T wheel arrangement.
