Corgi CC20113 Fowler Crane Locomotive – ‘Daisy’, The London Traction Haulage Co. Ltd.

John Fowler & Co. of Leeds was one of the most famous steam builders, supplying vehicles to all parts of the world, the majority of which were built between 1900 and 1914. The company excelled at heavy haulage with many famous firms such as Pickfords and Norman E Box running large fleets. Road Rollers were produced in considerable numbers but the Company is probably best remembered for its superb Fowler B6 Super Lion Showmans Locomotive of which only 4 were built. Around 500 Fowler engines of various types are preserved in the UK with many others abroad. These marvellous reminders of a bygone age are kept alive by the devotion and effort of steam enthusiasts worldwide.
