Re: Radio Exhibition Trains.
There's a series of photos in "The Setmakers" showing how in the latter part of the last century, Murphy ran such traveling-exhibition-trains [attendance limited to Murphy dealers and prospective people-in-the-trade-who-might-be-convinced-to-become-Murphy-dealers]
"Murphy on the Move!" was the tagline.
In the same book there are photos of a London Double-Decker-Bus which toured several European capitals promoting the Rank/Rotel/Murphy brands.
I wonder just how successful these ventures were: if they made economic sense I'm sure that marketing-types would have continued doing them. This century, brand-promotion has gone online with social-media influencers and the idea of 'exhibition trains' would be seen as deeply sad by anyone under-50.
