Steel, Peech & Tozer of Sheffield - railway tyres, axles & cranks advert, 1939

Now - that's eyecatching use of black & white press illustrations! A 'generic' streamlined loco and train - highly reminiscent of the LMSR 'Coronation" class if truth be told but with a hint of American about it, this advert was issued in 1939 by one of the specialist steel companies based in Sheffield. Part of United Steel, Steel, Peech & Tozer were amongst the market leaders in steel and forging for the very demanding components on trains.
