This is a superb example of the Wrenn W2239 "Eddystone" 4-6-2 Rebuilt West Country Class Locomotive in BR Green, running number 34028. As with all Period 4 Wrenn Locomotives it has "metal rimmed" bogie/tender wheels for smooth running and minimal wear. The nameplates are bright with the finer Loco/tender lining correct for the Period 4 issues and the tender has the late BR totem.

Wrenn, Basildon production records I believe indicate over 1000 were produced from Late period 3 (circa 1979/80) however as a collector of many years I believe the figure to be far less based on my experience.. Also I do not believe a breakdown of the nameplate variants exist, and note  this example  is not “play worn” like many of its counterparts from the P3/4 era. Has seen minimal layout use in my opinion - hence my condition rating.

The Locomotive/tender comes in its original box, and includes packing rings, tissue,  and blue Instruction Manual. The bottom of the inner box is stamped  "Packer No 3 03314" indicating 14th week, 3rd month, 1983 as Wrenn, Basildon issue date.

Overall Condition of the Locomotive/Tender/box is  "near mint " for their age.
