Bowman of Luton PW203

After getting the Bowman PW201, I didn't hesitate to buy it's bigger brother when it came up on ebay.


The engine doesn't look very good yet, but all the parts are there. The whistle bush is loose at the moment, but furthermore it's all in a quite reasonable state, even the decal is still there.


I think I will just clean this engine, although I do consider to repaint the firebox.
