As a company selling a range of stationary steam engines, it was natural for Bowman to also sell a range of "Working Models" gadgets for the engines to drive.

BOWMAN WORKING MODELS

Made abroad to Bowman Specification with Drilled Metal Bases

A new range of models worthy of your Bowman engine. Note their beautiful finish and realism and the special drilled base for using with Meccano and Erector sets. A Bowman Mod. 135 drove them all at once but the smallest Bowman will drive several of them at once. The entirely new Dynamo 839 really works with very small steam engines.
