I woke up this morning with a bizarre idea for this Bowman.  You've seen people create workshop model buildings with an engine, lineshaft, and machines.  How about creating one where there was a fire involving this engine, and the fire department was there and limited the damage to around the boiler and the walls there.  The rest of the shop is intact.  To really spice it up get a Wilesco or Mamod fire engine out front and a few figurines manning the hose, carrying axes, etc.  Like I said, a bizarre idea but I thought I'd share.
