EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the vintage charm of Fowler Showmans Road Locomotive 15652, affectionately named "Repulse," built by the renowned engineering firm John Fowler & Co. of Leeds in 1920. The locomotive is a classic example of a Showman's Road Locomotive, a type specifically designed for traveling carnivals and fairs. Numbered 15652, this R3 class locomotive boasts compound cylinders and an impressive Nhp (Nominal Horsepower) of undetermined value. The registration number, CU 977, adds to its unique identity. The image captures the "Repulse" in its prime during the 1970s-1980s era, a time when these magnificent machines were still a common sight on the roads leading to traveling fairs and amusement parks. The locomotive's name, "Repulse," is boldly displayed on the side, adding to its distinctive character. John Fowler & Co. of Leeds was a leading manufacturer of steam road locomotives during the early 20th century. Their expertise in engineering and design is evident in the intricate details of the "Repulse," from its powerful engine to its elegant curves and lines. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of steam locomotives and the role they played in providing entertainment and transportation during a bygone era. The "Repulse" stands as a symbol of a time when technology and artistry came together to create machines that captured the imagination and wonder of generations.
