Bruce, you snagged a primo set of Bowmans...love those boxes and they all have that beautiful Bowman "look".  I am especially fond of the M101!

Thanks Daniel & Rog
yes, I have a few original boxes with this lot, I'm very grateful that Larry (jkbixby) kept it all in good shape. it's hard not to love the m101 ,I have a great fondness for the biggest engines of any maker. this m101 had the biggest improvement in running with the least amount of work, just a filing down and flattening of the 2 mating surfaces did the trick nicely. of the British made engines I really like Bowmans for their gear reduction offerings.
