This is an excellent example of the Wrenn No 2224 2-8-0 8F Locomotive in BR Black with the standard running number 48073. This Locomotive was produced over all 4 Periods by Wrenn, Basildon, however most examples today “play worn” this example is not. As with all Period 1 Wrenn Locomotives it has plastic bogie and tender wheels not "metal rimmed" as it’s Period 3/4 counterparts.
Like all Wrenn 8F,s this is excellent for freight operations on any "OO Gauge" Layout and/or the collection. It is not "play worn" like many from this era.
Locomotive/tender comes complete with original Period 1 box, tissue, packing rings, Hornby Dublo coupling conversion kit, and Instruction Manual. The colour of the inner box is yellow correct for early Period 1 Basildon issue. (Circa 1966)
Condition of Locomotive/tender/box is "excellent to near mint", for their age.
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST EXAMPLES I HAVE SEEN OF THE "48073" FROM THE PERIOD 1 WRENN BASILDON ERA!
