Not easy to miss measure by 1" and not casting aspersions on your ability with a rule but it has a vague resemblance from memory to LBSC's Fayette. As far as I remember though the design was 2.5" gauge. Happy to be shown as completely wrong on this as I am not an expert by any means on model loco's! Paul.

The frame stretcher behind the cylinders is also a Bonds casting. Fayette is a nice loco and runs well. Hope you manage to complete it. John
