Its a old design to wj Hughes design; This scale has been overshadowed, everyone builds big now! but its right for me! dont fancy another hernia op after moving heavy stuff!, I have a wanted ad here and tt, but hard to find now, though one did come up on ebay, about two weeks ago but despite a generous offer the seller changed their minds possibly? or maybe not! I do not know. Thats the problem with ebay...The Fowler is so different as compared to the Burrell Showmans equivilent. Does anyone have a set of W Highes drawings;? good price paid... or copies? Love to see a few pictures of anyones Fowler models. thanks vic

This is a general arrangement drawing but there are two suplements that show the crane and showman's fittingsThe model of Supreme in 1.5" scales not actually by him.
