Smashing pictures Glen, why would anyone need to go to rallies that you go to? lol
That K and J Watkins Fowler roller would look good as a road loco I think though. Some nice engines there which I have never seen before. Thanks Glen, Sam.

I was just thinking the same thing when I saw that roller in the pics - it looks far too original and "rollerish"! Maybe the two guys talking to the driver are negotiating a price with a view to buying and making a nice, dumpy looking, too tall, too short, completely wrong Showmans engine!!!

for info here is a very similar engine, but this time sold as a 'convertable' by Fowlers with both sets of parts. I gather the convertables had some extra diameter in the bores, and the order books in MERL at Reading bear this out. She would be identical to Bonnie in roller form. Front end is correct, i.e the bits that matter were supplied with this engine. The rear wheels are 'home made'. Certainly is dumpy! |

Bonnie is a lovely roller with loads of local history, can never imagine it if it ever got messed around with, I am sure it would never happen.
Certainly is dumpy! What are we talking about The engine or one of its previous owners?? |
