Hi can anyone help with a showmans engine that I am refurbishing.

The engine was built in Wimbledon by Erine J Bauchen in 1953 and the nameplate that I have is BRENNA.

The engine is of duplex construction having two 1 1/2″dia cylinders and the valve gear is inclined down towards the crank. The boiler is also fitted with superheater tubes. It is a three shaft engine fitted with a belly tank.

Wheel size= rear 12″ front = 8″

Total length of 43″

I think it could be a 2 or 3″ scale Fowler or possibly a Foster showmans.

I have also been told that it was named Lizzie before being lade up in 1997.

Any info would be much appreciated (pictures,drawings etc).

Cheers Paul.

The Fowlers certainly had inclinded valves on some of their compounds but they were 4 shaft engines

12″ rears would make it 2″ not 3″

You could also ask on the miniatures section of Traction Talk

Thanks for that Jason, I will ask on traction talk forum.

I do agree thak it is a 2″ scale,

This engine was well used on the rally field in the 60/70/and80s so i have been told by the previous owner, just hope someone has seen it and maybe has a photo or two.

I think the old ME specials have been removed from the site now, one of them had several Fowler B6 and Superlion engines in which could well have been similar models.
