Offering for sale a superb PERIOD FOUR example of a Wrenn “Wrenn Railways” branded 4 Wheeled Ventilated Van, Wrenn model reference number W5100.

This model was introduced by Wrenn Wrenn Basildon where production continued until 1992. There were two colour variations made. Of the “Grey” example only 532 were reported to have been produced. This example of the Wrenn wagon is finished in grey with black and yellow logo and running number W145207.

Despite their name, they were also used for vegetable traffic and could be used for general merchandise traffic. Hence why Bisto and Dunlop to name but two transported their goods this way. Vans have been used on the railways since the late 1800’s primarily to transport live stock. With its decline due to abattoirs in the early 20th century, GWR converted these cattle wagons to transport alternative goods.
