1930s, 78pp, a few pages of the services provided by Peckett are followed by captioned photographs of the (very tidy!) Peckett works in Bristol and examples of locomotives built by them, card covers with embossed titles and locomotive illustration. In near fine condition, the spine slightly faded, the best example we have seen! Dated to the 1930s as the latest locomotive illustrated is No 1859 and this was built in 1932. Peckett & Sons was formed when Thomas Peckett took over the Bristol based Fox, Walker & Company in the late 1800s and between them they built over 2000 steam locomotives. The last steam locomotive was built in 1958 and the company belatedly started to build diesel locomotives. The company was taken over in 1961 and the works closed the following year. See our other listings for more Peckett items.

Store description
A member of the Provincial Booksellers Fairs Association (PBFA), I have been a nearly full time bookseller since the mid 2000s working from home in Bristol. I concentrate on books on transport (mainly railways), industrial history, maritime, topography, the Beatles & other groups from the 1960s and interesting ephemera. I particularly specialise in official publicity of the British railway companies. I sell on ABE, on eBay under the moniker 'mr.publicity' and at book and transport collectors' fairs. I keep a modest stock of quality material which is constantly changing - I spend a good deal of my time travelling around the UK seeking out and acquiring new stock. …
