The Highland Railway's 'Jones Goods' class were a class of steam locomotives, recognized primarily for being the inaugural class to feature a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement in the British Isles.

Sharp, Stewart and Company constructed and delivered fifteen 'Jones Goods' locomotives, numbered 103 to 117, between September and November 1894. These locomotives held the distinction of being the most powerful main line engines in the country at the time of their manufacture. While primarily designed for freight transport, they frequently found themselves pressed into service for passenger duties, given the substantial variations in traffic volume experienced by the Highland Railway.

At the time of production, they were the most powerful main line engines in the country. Initially intended principally as freight engines, they were often called upon for passenger duties during the wide fluctuations of traffic which occurred on the Highland Railway.
