The '''Banking Class''' were five {{whyte|0-6-0|ST}} [[Brunel gauge]] [[steam locomotive]]s for assisting ("[[Bank engine|banking]]") trains up [[Grade (slope)#Railways|inclines]] on the [[Great Western Railway]]. Designed by [[Daniel Gooch]], they were [[tank engine]] versions of his [[GWR Ariadne Class|Standard Goods class]], and mainly built at [[Swindon Works]].

The last example was withdrawn in 1889.
