A fantastic factory fresh Wrenn, model reference W2230 BO BO Diesel Electric Locomotive. This variation is in BR Blue with running number 20 008 This locomotive was made with a MK1 chassis and has always been a favourite amongst collectors and layouts across the country. This locomotive was introduced in 1988 with a production of one year, finishing in 1989 Period Four!
The exact numbers made are reported to be 1047. In all my years of collecting I have only see a handful in such great condition. This locomotive remains un-run in original condition, how it left the factory. Complete in every respect and includes original box, packaging, manual and usual holding rings and tissue.
Class 20 diesel locomotives were built in 1957-1968 by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry, Newton-le-Willows or at the Robert Stephenson & Hawthorn works at Darlington. Class 20 locomotives have a maximum tractive effort of 42000 lbf (187 kN) and Class 20 diesels have a maximum speed of 75 mph. Class 20 locomotives only have one cab at one end and consequently they often work in pairs. Class 20 diesel locomotives were built for light to moderately heavy freight trains.
TO RETAIN ITS VALUE AS A TEST RUN DISPLAY MODEL THIS ENGINE HAS NOT BEEN SERVICED. SHOULD THE BUYER WISH TO RUN WE WILL SERVICE F.O.C BEFORE DISPATCH
