This is a superb example of the popular Wrenn W2270 2-6-4 Tank Locomotive in BR Green, running number 80135. Introduced by Wrenn, Basildon in Period 4, these survived in production until closure in 1992.Production records indicate just over 700 were produced however I have seen very few of these over the years and hence these are widely sought after by collectors and those operating BR traffic on "OO Gauge"Layouts. The Tank shows little sign of layout use, and on test performed superbly under Gaugemaster 100 control.
The Tank Locomotive comes complete with correct Period box, tissue, packing rings and blue Instruction Manual. The code stamp on the bottom of the inner box is "Packer No 3 06326" indicating week 26, 6 month 1983 as date of Basildon manufacture.
Condition of the Locomotive/box is "near mint to mint" for their age.
