The '''Indian locomotive class WV''' was a class of [[2-6-2T]] [[tank locomotive]]s used on {{Track gauge|5ft6in|lk=on}} [[broad gauge]] lines in India.{{sfn|Hughes|1996|p=23}}<ref name=Hughes-SII-21>[[#Hughes-SII|Hughes 1976]], p.&nbsp;21.</ref><br />
<br />
The four members of the class were built by [[Vulcan Foundry]] in [[Newton-le-Willows]], [[Lancashire]], England, and completed in 1942.{{sfn|Hughes|1990|p=46}} They were later converted into [[Indian locomotive class WM|class WM]] engines, which were of [[2-6-4T]] wheel arrangement.{{sfn|Hughes|1996|p=23}}<br />
