This
gallery features British United Traction ads from the '50s.
BUT was a joint venture between Leyland and AEC, set up
after the war to produce road vehicles. With the imminent
modernisation of the railways they set up a rail section
and eventually supplied something like 75% of all the DMU
engines and control equipment in the UK, and also had
extensive sales abroad. They were not so succesful with
their complete rail vehicles in this country though. A
future gallery will cover BUT ads featuring overseas
items. Apologies for the quality of the scans. They only photcopy I could get of some were in large bound volumes so they couldn't copy flat. (I couldn't take them home to scan them in direct.) Click on the thumbnails to see the full picture, and your back button to return to this page.
