This photograph showcases the iconic Fowler Showmans Road Locomotive 20223, affectionately named "Supreme," built by the esteemed John Fowler & Co. of Leeds in 1934. This magnificent machine, classified as a B6 compound locomotive, boasts an impressive 10-inch cylinder diameter and a nostalgic charm that transports us back in time. The "Supreme" was registered under the number EU 5313 and was a popular sight during the 1970s and 1980s. Its striking appearance, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, sets it apart from other locomotives of its era. The compound nature of its engine, which utilizes both high and low-pressure steam cycles, contributed to its impressive power and efficiency. John Fowler & Co. of Leeds was a renowned manufacturer of steam road locomotives, and the "Supreme" is a testament to their engineering prowess. This photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, when steam-powered locomotives ruled the roads and ignited the imagination of generations. The "Supreme" is not just a machine, but a symbol of the rich history of steam transportation and the enduring allure of the open road.
