Manufacturer description

The second release on this highly detailed model workhorse from a bygone era, we see the Fowler B6 Crane as used by Leonard Crane, Lanesfield, Wolverhampton, aptly named 'Wolverhampton Wanderer'. Decorated in mid brown and black with a wealth of gold pin lining and lettering, the model is registered RF 6092. As well as the John Fowler & Co Leeds name printed on the front of the boiler, we also see from a separate plaque that the boiler engineers were a certain John Thompson & Co, also from Wolverhampton.
