EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Fowler Showman's Road Locomotive FX6661, also affectionately known as "The Iron Maiden." Built in 1920 by the esteemed John Fowler & Co. in Leeds, England, this steam-powered marvel boasts an impressive 8 Nhp compound steam engine. The Iron Maiden, with its registration number 15657, is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the past. Unlike modern tractors and farming machinery, this steam-powered vehicle relied solely on the power of steam to provide the necessary traction and motion. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the 1970s and 1980s when steam engines were still a common sight on the roads. The Iron Maiden, with its intricate design and intriguing history, is a true treasure for steam engine enthusiasts and history buffs alike. The Fowler Showman's Road Locomotive was a popular choice for traveling circuses, fairs, and shows due to its versatility and power. Its ability to traverse rough terrain and transport heavy equipment made it an essential component of the showman's arsenal. Despite its industrial appearance, The Iron Maiden exudes a certain elegance and grace, making it a fascinating subject for photographers and collectors. This photograph is a reminder of the rich history of steam-powered machinery and the role it played in shaping the agricultural and industrial landscapes of Britain.
