I seem to remember advertisements for locomotive builders in popular magazines in the late forties (that was before I was born but not by much, so I am talking about looking through old magazines). But then again, I might be having false memories. Date: 09/20/22 16:23 Re: You Durn Fool-- It is a Steam Engine Author: nycman Those kinds of ads were even in National Geographics many years ago. I know because I read them.
Date: 09/20/22 18:08 Re: You Durn Fool-- It is a Steam Engine Author: wabash2800 OK, I stand to be corrected.

Regards Posted from iPhone Date: 09/21/22 21:09 Re: You Durn Fool-- It is a Steam Engine Author: RailRat YesYesYes,Those were the media Everyone LOOked at back then, including Nat Geo!
During the 2000s I collected Nat Geo mags from 1930s 40s and 50s at thrift stores. specifically for the RR ads, and LIFE/LOOK mags too from the 60s and 70s specifically for the car ads. Some of The best RR ads in Nat Geo magazines were between late 1940s to early 1960s then television ads took over. I do recall seeing locomotive manufacturer ads in Nat Geo, oh I'd say roughly 1930s to 1940s, then after the war the RR ads went to mostly promoting passenger service. Heck I threw a lot away, but I still have some ad pages stored away somewhere? Jim Baker Riverside, CA Date: 09/23/22 14:51 Re: You Durn Fool-- It is a Steam Engine Author: rrman6 wp1801 Wrote:
