SD005 Fowler K7 Ploughing Engine 'The Steam Sapper' A4 Mounted/Framed Print

Here we see the Fowler K7 Ploughing Engine number 13310 'The Steam Sapper' Mark and Maggy being her proud owners.

This was the last ploughing engine owned by the British Army. Originally destined for Russia, she was intercepted en-route by the Germans on the outbreak of WW1. She was allocated to the Ottomeyer business, ploughing fenland around Bad Pyrmont. The Army based in Nienberg (45th Field Support Squadron) obtained her in the early 70's after being abandoned in a field, possibly in the late 50's. They carried out significant restoration in order to steam her for the Queens silver jubilee. Following this, she was the Squadron mascot until disbanded around 2008. She was purchased by the current owner and restorer in 2010. Extensive restoration of her internal structures has been completed by Universal Steam Engineering in Bristol whilst refurbishment of motion and parts has been carried out by the owners and their family. Restoration will remain an ongoing project of this grand old girl.
