Fowler Showmans / Road Loco

Fowler Traction Engines are faithful copies of the fowler locomotives of the 1920's period.

These models have been designed to be correct according to the original makers practice in every respect, and all components work as they would have done on the originals. The showmans engine was fitted with a full length canopy, dynamo and rear crane turret and jib and was a sight to behold, whether it be on a fairground or on the road.

The showmans model is an engine of impressive appearance, which is at its best on show generating light. The Fowler is more difficult to build than the Burrell having a lot of works fitted snugly into a small place.

The 4 in. Fowler showmans and road loco are probably the ultimate traction engines and produce a large and formidable model with great power reserves. The 3 in. Fowler was introduced for the model engineer who feels the 4 in. model is a little on the large side.
