This is a Wrenn/Graham Farish GWR Green Class 94 0-6-0 Pannier Tank which comprises a 1961 G/F body with modified Wrenn R1 Chassis. Running number 9410, for 2 Rail layout operation. This is the second one have completed, as my customer for the first was delighted with the outcome, which started as a repair.
I have called it an "OPPORTUNITY MISSED" referring to the Wrenn, Basildon years. Wrenn cooperated with Lima ( "N" and "O" Gauge, and N. K.C Keiser for the Streamliner Coronation Kits) why not Graham Farish, and launch a quality GWR Pannier Tank into the market. Very few were available to the "OO" Gauge market then, and this is still the case today. Remember this has a cast metal body, and would have been in keeping with the Wrenn, Basildon philosophy. Wrenn style couplings are fitted both frontand rear.
JUST A THOUGHT!
