Introduced by Wrenn, Basildon in 1979, the W2245 2-6-4 Tank Locomotive in Southern Region Green has been very popular for collectors and those operating "OO Gauge" Layouts through the years. Running number is 1927.Although just under 1500 have been quoted as produced by Wrenn, Basildon, based on my experience as a collector I believe the figure is far less. As with all Period 4 Wrenn Locomotives it has metal rimmed bogie wheels throughout.
This superb example has seen little layout use (if any), comes from the early1982 build and includes original box, packing rings, tissue, and blue Instruction Manual. The underneath of the inner box is stamped Packer No 6 in red ink indicating 1982 as Wrenn, Basildon issue date. This I believe was one of the last examples to be issued with the single "Packer No" inner box stamp before Basildon went to the 5 number stamps from early 1982.
Overall Condition of the Locomotive/box is "near mint to mint", in my opinion..
Ideal for Southern passenger or freight operations on any OO Gauge layout, and an essential for any Wrenn Collection.
