Wow, what a collection of Bowmans there 
What are the plans for the 122? a repaint or something?

So many faves there, but that drum roller accessory (like it would wash gravel or something) would be high on the list of wants.
As is the windmill with the water pump, all in one.

That is a Bing Sifter or sand toy c1904.
The Windmill is a Sand Dredger which is also a Bing c1910.

That 101 flywheel is damn heavy, they aren't all brass though. Just the outer rim

I hope that some day I will own a Bowman, every one I see is so impressive. I love the looks of them.

John, I want a Bowman too! If they ever show up on US ebay, I hope we don't drive it way up bidding against eachother.

Be still oh beating heart.
After the Wilson earned first runner-up for EOM, a forum search for "wilson's" brought me here.
The first page, all those photos...Les, you're killing me!
I've never heard of the Wilson. Yours looks wonderful, but what about them?
Rare? How old are they?

Thankyou, but all I know is that they made two different models, they were made in Liverpool around 1946/8 and as for rare I have only seen a handful on e-bay in the last three or four years.

Thankyou but not all the models are mine, some belong to Chris Withers.

Wow, a blast form the not so distant past
Although not a big Vertical fan, that Wilson is a fine engine Kes, keep entering it as it does deserve to be EOM and I am sure it will some day soon, just like I will some day own a Bowman
