Ken’s prototype for Wren is based on British locomotive builder Kerr Stuart contractor’s engine which was built circa 1927
The origin of the “Wren” class can be traced back to No. 850, a 2 ft. 1 3/4-inch gauge 0−4−0 saddle tank supplied to the Southend Gas Company on 24 December 1903 – for more infomation visit The Industrial Railway Record ….
