This is an excellent example of the Wrenn W.2411 "Royal Mail" Streamlined Merchant Navy Class Locomotive in BR Blue, running number 35003. This was a LIMITED EDITION and although 250 were planned, according to production figures the Basildon factory issued 248. Based on my experience as a collector I believe the figure to be less.

This example is "near mint " in my opinion..

Comprises:

Streamlined Locomotive 35003

Limited Edition Certificate No 30

Plaque " 1941 - ROYAL MAIL - 1989

Wooden Display Plinth and length of Track

All in the original Limited Edition box including tissue, packing rings. Instruction Sheet and blue Instruction Manual, The bottom of the inner box is stamped "Packer No 2 89830" indicating, 30th Week, 8th Month 1989 as date of Wrenn, Basildon issue. NOTE :   As one box end had grafitti marks, this has been carefully removed and a label fitted W.2411 S/L ROYAL MAIL LIMITED EDITION in red ink in keeping with the original Basildon factory stamp. I would have graded this as "near mint to mint" should this not had been the case.
