1919 built Fowler Ploughing Engine no 15279 in operation at the Great Dorset Steam Fair 2014. On the left can be seen the cable it is winding up, hauling a plough up the field. At the other end of the field is another engine letting out its cable, and once the plough reaches the end of its run, the roles will be reversed (see Image).
