Lasting ca. 17 minutes, this video shows what needs to be carried out to raise the steam and pressure of a Fowler Steam Road Locomotive, ready for the engine to be used.

Excellent news, Peter. I should be in the UK at the end of June / whole of July. Let me know where Surprise might be and I‘ll try and visit her!

I love it ! And Greta is screaming HOW DARE YOU !!! 😆

Magnificent engine, always liked Fowlers.

What impressed me about the company, when it manufactured steam engines, was their business prowess. Before WW1, ca. 60% of their turnover was made abroad…seems unbelievable then.

Great video, I am looking forward to doing this with 16930 whenI get it back on the road.

[@LordRoberts-FowlerB5RoadLoco]

She looks a fine engine. Good luck with the work.

Love these maintenance videos with the descriptions, thanks for taking the time to create them. Any chance of a ‘how to operate a steam road loco’ style video please?

[@LordRoberts-FowlerB5RoadLoco]

Thank you for your suggestion. Noted. We‘ll put a video together, when we can!
