1920 Fowler Iron Maiden
The famous 1920 Fowler (15657) 7nhp R3 Longbox, better known as the "Iron Maiden" after becoming famous as the star of the film "The Iron Maiden". The actual steam engine was known for most of its life as the "Kitchener" and was used to haul stone from the Isle of Portland to the local railway station. In 1932 it was sold to Mrs H Oadley of Alfreton, Derbyshire, who had it rebuilt into a show engine. It was subsequently purchased by John Crawley in 1955 for preservation from a yard at Conisbrough, Yorks - but was then on-sold to a George Hawkins of Wadebridge, Cornwall. The name Iron Maiden was later used by the famous rock band, but in this case it was as a reference to a medieval torture device, not the trusty old Fowler Steam Engine - more's the shame.
