After recent events of thefts that we have had over the last year among other factors. I have decided enough is enough and to retire and move to warmer climates and get away from the UK pare-sights that have invaded our property. I have not taken this decision lightly and are pretty pissed off, but for sale we have the following.
Fowler 18503 Royal Sovereign Showman's, engine built as a roller in 1931 and converted to Showman's in preservation. The engine passed a full hydraulic and steam test last week. It is in good working order and probably one of the best conversions out there. (Seen at Abbeyhill last weekend)
Fowler 17482 The Councillor Showman's, engine built in 1929 as a roller. I bought the remains of 17482 around 6 or so years ago after being stripped down for around 20 years before that and left in a field. At the time I gave 40k for it. Most of the bits were either rotten out or stolen from it or missing. Over the last 6 years I have built it up as a Showman's style engine with other Fowler parts and I ncluding a brand new boiler barrel, firebox and tube plate by Alton Engineering (Howard Bros). New wheels and tender. A full set of new gears etc etc. New valves and piston rods etc. New shaft bearings and much more. Rebore and pistons. We have had it running with compressed air and it is sweet. It dose need finishing off though and it comes with a Mather & Platt dynamo and new 3inch twisted brass. Up to now I have over 100k in it without our time.
Please appreciate I don't want lookers, tyre kickers, waste of timers or know one trying to raise money for the asset. Just genuine folk please apply.
