I've still got that M158 on watch, no doubt it will go crazy in the last few minutes  Or I'm sure there will be a few Bowmans for sale in February

Ay up someone is interested in a Bowman or two.
What happened to, and I quote:
"I'm not a stationary man, a probably never will be"
Changes his mind more than a Tv channel

well, not a Mamod stationary man as yet, I want the best at the moment, but not pink champagne and caviar, why any would want to eat fish eggs is beyond me Bowmans to me are the finest stationaries around, and show just what is happening to engineering standards of today, dying.

Fair enough MTA I agree with the Bowmans, they are wonderful machines. Engineering in toy steam engines has gone way down hill!
For me, nothing beats the SE4!

I agree with you there, although SM said hes after that M158 as well, if I dont get this, I'll be after another one or an M140, as I dont want to have a big engine just yet...

The problem with Bowmans, is i'm always going to be outbid by a "big gun" who will stop at nothing, money no object to get it!
Plus they do fetch tidy sums of money!
