Whether chain roundabouts, organs, ship swings or chain fliers in former times all needed at the fairs, a source of electricity that could be transported with the attractions from city to city.

The electricity the was produced by means of a generator driven by the simple steam tractor. Since the tractor stood in the proximity of the attractions, they were decorated, lit up and made visually pleasing. Today these Showman's Engine's are still in large numbers in England and are attractions to see and admire at the meetings.

From the "REGNER's Popular Amusements Company, you will receive, as a new item for 2010, a replica on a scale of 1:16, as the template used was a machine from Wallis and Steevens, Basingstoke England.

Equipped with a roof, with colored lights (LED lights change, consumption ca.100mA), and a generator (6V 250mA) that is driven by the tractor. Please Note: The Decorative Lining is not included because it is very time consuming and therefore installed only on request at an additional charge.
