This is a "near mint" example of the popular Wrenn W2219 2-6-4 Tank Locomotive in LMS Red, running number 2679. Introduced by Wrenn. Basildon in Period 2 (Triang/Wrenn) era., several thousand were produced before factory closure in 1992. Most were produced through Periods 2/3 and it is rare to find a PERIOD 4 Near Mint issue. This has the brighter yellow lining synonymous with the later Period 4 Basildon issues.

Many today are "play worn", this example is not, and has seen minimal layout use if any. As with all Period 4 Locomotives it has "metal rimmed" wheeled bogies.

Comes complete with P4 issued box, tissue, packing rings and blue Instruction Manual The bottom of the inner box is stamped "Packer No 3 81043" in black ink indicating 43rd Week, 10th Month, 1988 as Basildon issue date.

Overall Condition is "near mint to mint" for its age.
