The cylinder block featured Fowler's distinctive inclined  valve chests on top of the cylinders, the crank had 90 degree throws with  bolted-on balance weights. Three speeds allowed for a third \"extra  fast\" gear which gave the engines fast road performance when hauling  fairs from town to town - speeds of up to 18 mph with 45 tons on the back were  not uncommon. The engine is fitted with a winch and differential, the winch  doubling-up to operate a rear-mounted crane used for setting up the fairground  rides - the crane itself is quickly fitted to the tender-mounted mast, is fully  working and extends two feet to the back of the engine with a height of some  three feet.\u003c\/p\u003e    \u003cp\u003eThis model is one of the finest-detailed we have bought, exceptionally  well-made with very fine workmanship throughout.
