  • Renown is Currently owned by the Howard Brothers of Kirk Ireton, in Derbyshire, and appears at several steam fairs and rallies during the summer rally season throughout the UK. The engine travels with a historic sett of gallopers as it was built to do. Renown was one of a pair of Fowler showmans engines delivered in 1920 to John Murphy, a South Shields showman. They were ordered operate and tow (travel) his Scenic Peacock Switchback ride. The engine was fitted with a crane suited to handle the ride cars for the build up and stripping down of the fair. The Howard brother acquired the engine in 1979. But in September 2003 the engine suffered major fire damage, from a fire in the yard. The engine was restored and back in action in 2004. A book about the engine was published by Jumper books The engine was restored in the historic dark blue livery of John Murphy ownership. For John Fowler & Co. history see Main article: Fowler
