4092 SIMPLICITY - Built 1925 - A Deakin & Sons - Scrapped
Mrs Alfred Deakin ordered the last Showmans engines from Burrell and John Fowler - SIMPLICITY and SUPREME. Although SIMPLICITY was ordered from Burrells A.G.E decided the engine would be completed at Richard Garrett's Leiston Works. The engine was delivered directly to the Stratford Mop Fair where she powered a new set of Dodgems. Later both engines were sold to Road Engines & Kerr the Scottish heavy haulage company. Both had their dynamos removed and their roofs cut back. Sadly SIMPLICITY was cut up for scrap. See the full story below.
