A fine example of this much sort after 4-6-2 Streamlined Bulleid Pacific Locomotive named “Wadebridge” in SR green livery running number 21C107. This engine commenced in Feb 1991 and continued until the factory’s closure in 1992. Overall there were only 93 made.
What makes this locomotive special is the condition and originality which is very hard to find due to the limited production run by Wrenn.
The locomotive remains in test run condition and comes in its original labelled end box which is consistent with date of manufacture. The underneath is stamped Packer2 / 91 27, confirming a production date of February 1991.
SR West Country and Battle of Britain classes, collectively known as Light Pacific’s or informally as Spam Cans are air-smoothed 4-6-2 Pacific steam locomotives designed for the Southern Railway by its Mechanical Engineer Oliver Bulleid. They were among the first British designs using welding in the construction process and steel fireboxes. Meaning components could be more easily constructed under wartime austerity / post-war economy!
