This is a great opportunity to purchase a genuine Wrenn W2201 "Esso" 0-6-0 Tank Locomotive in blue, running number 38.This is one of the rarest of the "private owner" R1 Locomotives that Wrenn, Basildon produced, and is becoming difficult to find today. I have stressed genuine as many half finished bodies were converted by others between 1992 and 2002, this example IS NOT ONE OF THOSE and was issued between 1980/81.

Introduced by Basildon in late Period 3, this  survived production into Period 4 on a very limited basis. The earlier examples had a "duller" blue plastic body finish compared to the later strong blue P4 issues as this example. 

Only 336 were listed in the 1980/1 Period 4 production figures I believe

The Locomotive comes complete with original box, tissue, packing rings, and Instruction Sheet. The bottom of the inner box is stamped "Packer No 6" in black ink indicating early Period 4, Basildon issue. 

Overall Condition of this Locomotive is " near mint “ box is “excellent “ considering age.
