The traction engines in 'The Moon and the Sledgehammer'

Three steam engines feature in the film: the Allchin; the Fowler in the wood; and the Fowler in the last scene on the road.

Peter Love (ex-editor of Tractor & Machinery magazine), who knows a lot about steam traction engines and a lot about the film, says that whereas the Allchin belonged to the Page family, the Fowlers were 'borrowed' for the sake of the filming. The Allchin is apparently now in preservation in Ireland.
