Fowler Showmans Engine

The Fowler was a more detailed and heavier model than the rest of the range so it's retail price was higher. It cost three shillings and sixpence (17½ pence) opposed to two shillings and ninepence ( 14 pence) for the others. It can be found in dark or light maroon or dark red, One short run was painted purple and is quite rare. The roof can be cream or white and the trim can be gold or gold and silver. The decals proclaimed "Lesneys modern Amusements". It was in production from 1958 to 1968 so must be one of Lesney's longest lived models.
