Found in AHM's 1967-68 product catalog sharing the page with other
Old-Time Steam Locomotives Genoa and Reno, the Bowker sold originally for $15.95 and is shown available only in Virginia
& Truckee livery. The Bowker was introduced in 1967 by AHM. You'll find the model reviewed in the June 1967
issue of Model Railroader. The review points out the 2-4-0 Bowker is too large in most all of its dimensions.
Going by AHM parts sheet information, there are three production variations to the Bowker engine.
The first pair of pages above present the original 1967 production, next comes two pages covering 1971 production, and finally
the last page covers 1974-77 production. This information shows the Bowker carrying AHM stock series number 5072 for both
the original and 1971 releases, but switches to 5272 for 1974-77. You may click on any of the above images to open a larger
version for best viewing.
