Manufacturer description

The Ploughing Engine produced by the famous Leeds Engineers John Fowler, numbered 15337 and named 'Louise', follows on from her predecessor the 'Princess Mary'. A gleaming black body has contrasting bright red and gold detail and is registered DO 1928. Special features include a shaped chimney in the upright position, realistic cable feed on the offside and gravel textured wheels to replicate the real thing. To see these machines in operation at steam fairs across the UK is a memorable experience but in the meantime, here's the Oxford alternative evoking similar historic moments.
