It looks like a Class WG goods locomotive. Approximately 2500 of these were 
built. These, and the  magnificent Class WP passenger locomotives, were 
extremely rugged and reliable engines. The types WG and WP were the last 
broad gauge steam engines used on the Indian Railways.

The  Class WPs are to my eyes  amongst the best looking steam locomotive 
ever made, along with the Class J of the Norfolk & Southern, the streamlined 
Class 03 of the DRG and, of course, the A4 of the LNER.
