Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Highland Railway Jones Goods class was a class of steam locomotive, and was notable as the first class with a 4-6-0 wheel arrangement in the British Isles. Fifteen were built, and one has survived to preservation. The 4-6-0 wheel arrangement had its origins in the United States, and its introduction to Britain was the work of the Highland Railway's locomotive superintendent David Jones. When the 'Jones Goods' first appeared they were felt to be somewhat daring as they were such an advance on anything that Jones or the Highland Railway had previously built. Boiler pressure was 175 pounds-force per square inch the previous highest being 160 pounds-force per square inch. Outside cylinders were 20-inch bore by 26-inch stroke the previous largest being 18-inch by 24-inch.
