Selling Steam Sentinels to Steelworks
In 1950 Ken Judkins, who had had a working life pre WWII with steam road traction, began a late career as a demonstrator for Thomas Hill of Rotherham. Thos. Hill was an agent for Sentinels of Shrewsbury and all were concerned in selling steam over diesel. Ken made an impact in this role, selling new steam locomotives to industrial concerns around Britain. He later became associated with Chasewater Railway and wrote a couple of books, a story from "My Life in Steam" (Oakwood Press, 1970) being reproduced below.
