Title: FOWLER LIFEBOAT TRACTOR
Post by: Rottweiler on November 19, 2011, 12:52:06 am

  Hi to all,
Is there anyone who could help me out with any photos of any Fowler Lifeboat Tractors please? A friend of mine wants to build a static model, and would like some detail pictures if possible,of  inside the drivers area and the driving wheel detail, but anything would be really welcome?
Ideally, I am after details of Fowler T60 (OXO 323)  at St.Ives Cornwall 1954-1962  Rhyl 1963-72, Hastings 1973-74, Bridlington 1974-78, Rhyl again 1978-83 and Wells 1983-85
                               0r       Fowler T56 (MYR 426) at  St.Ives Cornwall 1962 -1967      ANYTHING would be welcomed please?
Many Thanks,
 Mick

thanks guys, but I think you may be refering to the TALUS tractor built by Gribeuval, superb as it is,its much too modern to the one I am looking for.
