Re: Classic British Railways posters
Look at the Southport poster. A beach scene with (mostly) women in bathing costumes of the period. Notice the body shapes, and how they set much more realistic targets for fit young folk than do the images of today.
It's the third picture of the slideshowAtkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'

Re: Classic British Railways posters
Yes. I have seen many a "Western Movie" where laying the Railroad has been a theme. Those movies show men working in gangs.Originally posted by sallyseachange View Post"The Permanent Way" is rather an interesting one... are the men bent over laying rails?
Later the tracks came ready assembled on their sleepers and were craned in from the end of the line.
But this picture shows maintenance rather than construction.Atkins didn't say 'Calories don't count',
he said, 'Don't count calories.'
