The Fowler Big Lion Showman Engine

These handsome giants which supported a dynamo mounted on a platform above the front of the smoke box were seen at fair grounds throughout the world and provided the power for touring amusement contractors

The “BIG LION” had a nominal horse power of 8 and the commercial net load recommended by the builders was 28 tons, but in actual practice this was exceeded by a very considerable margin, in fact more than double.

For ruggedness and an impression of sheer power these magnificent were engines unsurpassed.
