The work of a professional engineer, a friend that I first met nearly thirty years ago when we both kept full-size road engines at a yard in Hampshire.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    A highly experienced steam man - for many years the custodian of a well-known Marshall steam roller - he was also a capable model engineer. Amongst other things he built three 3 inch scale road engines including the Fowler, a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/3-inch-scale-marshall-steam-roller-stock-code-12536\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMarshall roller\u003c\/a\u003e modelled on his own full-size engine along with a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/3-inch-scale-mclaren-road-locomotive-stock-code-12534\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMcLaren road locomotive.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The Marshall and McLaren remained unsteamed, however the Fowler was much used over the years, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3Y7yG7oYsag\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eappearing at various events and rallies around the country.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The commercially made copper boiler had had a twice working pressure hydraulic test and subsequent steam test, with new certification issued. The original Fowler pattern safety valves which leaked badly have been replaced by pop-type valves, with the original parts retained - they could be refurbished if desired. We've fitted new water gauge seals, an injector - the old one was worn and becoming unreliable in operation - and serviced the regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    The paintwork has an appealing \"working clothes\" patina; whilst the motionwork shows some wear, the engine steams freely and runs very well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e    \u003cbr\u003e      \u003ciframe width=\"353\" height=\"198\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mgrsokkYHvM?si=Snajw5TUOqvk8WgQ\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Station Road Steam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54019993665877,"sku":"12530","price":9750.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/0094\/2677\/files\/12530-1.webp?v=1779909211","url":"https:\/\/stationroadsteam.com\/products\/3-inch-scale-fowler-a7-agricultural-engine-stock-code-12530","provider":"Station Road Steam","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
