Malayan Railway goods transport poster, 1950s

The locomotive depicted will be a Malayan Railway Class 20; a fleet of 26 diesel-electrics introduced by Malayan Railways (now KTMB) in 1957 to mark the country's independence. Manufactured by English Electric (built at the Vulcan Foundry), these 1,500 hp engines were the first mainline diesels on the Malaysian meter-gauge network. They have an obvious resemblance to NZR's Ef class from 1954.

One of the early examples of draping a woman over a car to enhance sex appeal, although this one looks more upper class and older than what followed.

ship 'Sunprince' of the Saguenay line in the Panama Canal 1950s

The M.V. Sunprince was a 2,895 gross-ton Canadian-built "Park" class cargo ship (originally the Shakespeare Park). Built in 1945 by Saint John Dry Dock & Shipbuilding Co., she was operated by Saguenay Terminals (later Saguenay Shipping), carrying general cargo and bauxite to and from the Caribbean. In 1959, she was sold and renamed the Salammanna. No scrapping date available.
