Manufacturer description

John Fowler & Co (Leeds) Ltd were one of the great names in the manufacture of showman locomotives right up to the 1930s and our model, the third in the 1:76 scale series, represents their B6 engine, named King Carnival which is printed on the side of the body.

Decorated in red and black with a grey roof, our model is registered EF 4883. The John Fowler company details are printed in gold on a red plate on the front of the locomotive. The wealth of decoration is topped on this release with the addition of texture to the outside of the wheels to imitate their real-life condition.
