19 forum posts 1 photos	Hi can anyone help with a showmans engine that I am refurbishing. The engine was built in Wimbledon by Erine J Bauchen in 1953 and the nameplate that I have is BRENNA. The engine is of duplex construction having two 1 1/2"dia cylinders and the valve gear is inclined down towards the crank. The boiler is also fitted with superheater tubes. It is a three shaft engine fitted with a belly tank. Wheel size= rear 12" front = 8" Total length of 43" I think it could be a 2 or 3" scale Fowler or possibly a Foster showmans. I have also been told that it was named Lizzie before being lade up in 1997. Any info would be much appreciated (pictures,drawings etc). Cheers Paul.
