The Highland Railway Jones L Class 4-4-0s were more commonly known as 'Skye Bogies' due to their association with the Kyle of Lochalsh Line. They were essentially mixed traffic versions of the earlier F Class. The cylinders (17" by 24"), valve gear and motion were common to the two classes, but they had smaller (5' 3") driving wheels and higher pressure (150psi) boilers.

Nine were built at Lochgorm Works over the period 1882 to 1901. Listed in order of construction:They were never named.

All passed to the LMS in 1923, but had gone by Nationalisation.
