A view from the footplate on the road of Fowler Showmans 19782 "The Lion" as it makes its journey from the ferry terminal at Fishbourne to the isle of wight steam railway at Havenstreet. All filmed from one camera.

That was brilliant!

Do you happen to know if that double sided regulator handle is original or if it is a later addition/modification? Because that is genius

[@davezehetmayr]

It's original and a test bed for Fowlers in chrome'ing technology. Supreme the last showmans built was completely chrome from these trials.

Must be hard work driving that in traffic.
