The [[London and North Western Railway]] (LNWR) '''Waterloo Class''' was a class of {{whyte|2-4-0}} [[steam locomotive]]s that was also known as the '''Whitworth Class'''.

==History==
The locomotives were introduced by [[Francis Webb (engineer)|F. W. Webb]] in 1889 as replacements for the [[LNWR Samson Class|''Samson'' class]], and 90 examples were built up to 1896.

The LNWR reused numbers and names from withdrawn locomotives, with the result that the numbering system was completely haphazard.

Withdrawals had started in 1907, following [[George Whale]]'s succession of Francis Webb in 1903 and the introduction of Whale's stronger [[LNWR Whale Precursor Class|Precursor]] and [[LNWR Whale Experiment Class|Experiment]] tender engines. Thirty locomotives passed to the [[London, Midland and Scottish Railway]] at the 1923 [[Railways Act 1921|grouping]]. They were given the [[power classification]] 1P, and renumbered '''5080–5109'''. In addition, four other members of the class survived in departmental service.

The last Waterloo was withdrawn in 1936. None were preserved.

==Accidents and incidents==
:{{Main|Chelford rail accident}}
*On 22 December 1894, a gust of wind blew a wagon into a rake of wagons at {{rws|Chelford}}, [[Cheshire]]. They were derailed and fouled the main line. Locomotive No. 418 ''Zygia'' was one of two hauling an express passenger train that collided with the wagons and was derailed. Fourteen people were killed and 48 were injured.
*On 15 August 1895, locomotive No. 2159 ''Shark'' was one of two locomotives hauling an express passenger train that derailed at {{rws|Preston}}, [[Lancashire]] due to excessive speed on a curve. One person was killed.<ref name=Trevena2>{{cite book |last=Trevena |first=Arthur |title=Trains in Trouble: Vol. 2. |year=1981 |publisher=Atlantic Books |location=Redruth |isbn=0-906899-03-6 |page=7 }}</ref>
