Ref: 40158

The Fowler Showman's Engine is one of Lesney's most impressive models, with superb detailing.

This one is in maroon with cream roof and gold roof supports. There is a 'LESNEY'S MODERN AMUSEMENTS' decal on one side of the roof - the other side is missing - and the black chimney is stored on top. The boiler door is gold. The wheels are spoked metal, finished in deep yellow with unpainted metal treads. This one has the scarcer black 'Made in England by Lesney' plate on the underside; the more common version is body colour.

This example has excellent paintwork with a few rubs on the corners, but one roof decal is missing as well as some of the decorative decals on the body.

Condition Ratings

The best way to check the condition of an item is to look at the photos and read the description. We also give separate condition ratings for the model and the box, as below:

Mint	As new. There may be slight factory flaws.
Excellent	Just one or two very small defects which prevent a Mint ranking, perhaps a very small chip in an inconspicuous place. Box will show signs of having been opened and closed.
Good	General chipping but still good enough to display. Box may be creased or slightly torn but is still the right shape and no parts missing.
Fair	Extensive chipping, damage to decals or cracked windows, but no parts missing. Box may have one or two flaps missing.
Poor	Badly damaged, parts missing, very rusty, and/or repainted. Box badly mutilated. Not suitable for display.
