haven't seen the early fowler agricultural before, any one know the story of it please

regards sam

fowler 6376, I believe it emerged for its first ever rally last month

And still no cornish engines at the Royal Cornwall Show !!!!

Steve

What, as in ones originally supplied and worked in Cornwall??

Ex I'Anson. Bishop Aukland. Then George Lea

I thought it was the ex G Lea Fowler.

Do you know of any willing to come?

I'd come.

still don't get it please explain????????????

I think what Steve is trying to say is that there were no "Cornish" variety of Traction Engine. I saw one at Torbay Rally in 2009

cornish engines
 

Steve is meaning that there wasn't any cornish registration or engines that actually worked here in cornwall on display at the show, All the engines at the show but two live here in cornwall, two coming from devon.
Would be nice to have a cornish engine reunion or get together, were are all the AF reg engines know because most are not here in cornwall

And the CV engines!

not forgetting the RL registered ones

Sounds like a CTPC special rally, following on to RCS 2017 !

As it is NO Cornish engines at the show, AF, CV , RL reg = Cornish

Steve

So the Chough doesn't count as a Cornish engine then? (I appreciate she was not at the show)

Some lovely engines from elsewhere though Steve, I'll make up some fake plates for next year 😏

I did state that on my first post.
If you change the plates it will then become a conversion and you may have problems on here then !!!

Who said you're going next year anyway ?? The man said 'All change' for next year !!!!

Steve.

Steve, in my opinion NO, a Cornish engine would be supplied new to Cornwall ! Some of these engines would no doubt have been displayed either on a sales stand or as new supplied, at very early Royal Cornwall Shows, hence AF, CV and RL reg,

Steve

ok then include the BJ reg engine

Variety of exhibits ;)

Guys. Remember a steam tractor or wagon would have been registered by the makers when new on the local heavy motor car series. Hence why a Garrett will have a BJ reg plate

Here is an idea for you all to think about..... there are some Cornish Engine owners who want to see conversions banned from rallies. How about if a rally were to be held in Cornwall and all engines except those with Cornish Registration plates on them would be banned. Any that try to attend the rally with either false plates or which have been re-registered with a Cornish plate would be banned as conversions!!

6376 was new to Townsend & Sons, West Auckland. County Durham.
In 1892 she was sold to A. I'Anson who drove her for Townsends along with a sloping-frame Marshall thrasher.
She remained with the J. I'Anson family all her life and only driven by the family after A. I'Anson's death in 1928.
She was sold by Fred I'Anson in October 1962.
