Wren, 5" or 4.75" Gauge
MaxiTrak - Wren is a 5" narrow gauge saddle tank locomotive with open cab and footplate mounted coal bunkers. These popular, diminutive but powerful locomotives were used widely in industry and because of this several survive today in preservation. This includes the well-known and much travelled 'PETER PAN', the equally well known 'PIXIE' and 'LORNA DOONE', a much-worked engine, saved from the scrap-man’s torch.
Adding to the roll call of known survivors of this class of industrial engine, the Falklands conflict led to the surprise discovery of the remains of two 'early type' Wrens (works no 2388 & 2392). These 2’-gauge locomotives were shipped to the Falklands during the Great War of 1914-1918 to assist in the construction of a powerful radio transmitter.
