Interesting variety! Does anyone know anything else about the blue Fowler showman's? Those don't seem to be terribly common and I'm quite fond of the aesthetics.

The 6" Fowler Showmans was built by Martin young in his back garden. he also built a full size Foster Tractor in his back garden. there was an article in OG late last year or this year detailing the build of the engine.

it's very nice and impressive what can be done in a home workshop and back garden!

here is a pic of his Foster 'DRAGON'
