These are a series of Wagons and Vans produced for the Wrenn Railways Collectors Club from moulds retained by Dapol Ltd.

All of the bodies for the wagons come from the original Hornby Dublo Moulds, which have been refaced and therefore improved by Dapol Ltd.

All the wagons are produced in a limited run (normally of 100) . The bodies are mounted on a Dapol chassis with metal wheels and packaged in a Dapol box.

Supplied with each wagon is a limited edition certificate in the form of a peelable label stating the name of the wagon, the WRCC number and the limited number e.g. 45/100.*

Most of the earlier wagons such as the J Bly Coal Wagon, the Geest Banana Vans and the Salt Vans simply used existing Wrenn Printing Plates and were printed on a different liveried body. For example: G & R Wrenn of Basildon produced a J Bly Coal Wagon in dark green livery whereas the WRCC version was produced in black.

Some of the later wagons/vans have used new printing plates, such as the Standard Fireworks Van produced in the late 1960's by G & R Wrenn of Basildon (the Wrenn original used transfers) . Others such as the Brocks Fireworks Van, the Cameron Brewery Van and the Rebellion Beer Company Van are completely new printings never sold by Wrenn.

WRCC WRCC1 to WRCC15 have been produced already and further wagons are planned.

These wagons and vans are designed to make a colourful addition to either your layout or your collection and are therefore attractively priced. Some are already included in the Ramsay Model Trains Guide.
