This is a professional respray of a W2236 (Ex) into a Rebuilt Merchant Navy Class "Canadian Pacific", running number 35005.Livery is BR Dark blue with early BR Tender emblem. Utilises the high performance Ring field motor, originally designed by Hornby Dublo for the Barnstable and Dorchester Locomotives in the 1950,s. Both Locomotive and tender uses genuine Wrenn parts throughout.
As a collector I do not normally endorse resprays, however when they are finished to this professional standard, they are hard to ignore. The finish certainly "mirrors" that achieved on the late Period 4 Wrenn, Basildon factory Locomotives produced between 1989 - 1992 when the factory closed.
An ideal addition to the 2 Rail Layout and/or the Collection!
