4-6-0 Class I 'Jones Goods' HR Profile and Models

The first 4-6-0 locomotives used in the British Isles, fifteen were built to a design previously supplied to various Indian railways. They were the most powerful locomotives in use in the UK at the time, and became known as the 'Jones Goods' after the Highland Railway's Locomotive Superintendent. Originally intended for hauling freight, the locomotives were used on some passenger duties when required. No.103 was preserved upon withdrawal in 1934, but returned to service with British Railways in the late 1950s, taking part in many enthusiast railtours across the country. No.103 is now the final surviving Highland Railway locomotive, and is on display at the Glasgow Riverside Museum.
