Hi Alan It's an Armstrong standard goods, of which 310 were built from 1866 to 1876. There are two very nice pictures of no. 788 as built in Russell's "Pictorial Record of Great Western Engines" volume 1, no doubt the builder used these as a reference. I take my hat off to people with the skill to produce models to such a high standard.
