Bowman Models of Dereham, Norfolk, England (Directors: Geoffrey Bowman Jenkins, Bernard A. Smart), were founded in around 1926, and made a range of steam-powered models between WW1 and WW2, some of which are on display in the "Toyshop Steam" cabinet, with accompanying literature. Jenkins had started selling similar products in the early 1920s, and operated out of the Hobbies factory, which led to some of the models being marketed under the Hobbies-Bowman name.
The use of functional steam power meant that Bowman's range wasn't huge, and their pieces were engineered for simplicity and reliability, with a minimum of "fancy" ornamentation. As well as producing static steam engines for driving Meccano models, the company also produced steam locomotives, rolling stock, rubber-band-powered model aeroplanes, and clockwork, rubber-drive and steam-powered speedboats.
In the museum
The Model 410 and Model 234 steam locos on display represent the smallest and largest steam locomotive models in their range.
