Found picture of some one who modeled the Fowler.

That armoured Fowler is great, I NEED one.

I have just bought a Matchbox 1917 Steam Lorry on e-bay that I will be painting up.

I am finding these beasts fascinating.

as I read sometime, Steam tractors were used in agriculture up to the 1950ies

I know traction engines were built to have an expected service life of 50 years+

For those who like paper models I found this free download of the armoured fowler steam engine 1/50 scale:
