Does anyone know if any dwgs/cstngs suppliers do a Fowler Ploughing engine, in the larger scales, please?

John have a word will Billy or Trev over on Scale-steam Forum, they can put you in touch with a source of castings for a 3″ K5. This is Billy’s thread on the pair he’s building.

There is alsothis 3″ K5 being built by one of the Black Country Live steamers.

 

You could also ask on Tractiontalk Forum a couple of the Black country boys post on their and there is another member planning to do a pair of 6″ Z7 engine once he’s finished the four 4″ B6’s hes working on now.

 

Or if you are feeling adventurous and fancy something different take a basic 3″ Fowler A7 from MJ add compound cylinders, road loco wheels & gearing and you will have a Fowler Farmers Engine, add springing and you could do one of the Russian engines. This would give you a ploughing engine that would be a lot more use on the rally field, quite fancy the idea myself.
