"A delightful, personal reminscense covering 50 years ..... by a man who has been a railway enthusiast from his earliest days. It tells the storu of his lifetime hobby as well as his work in the locomotive running or motive power departments of the London and North Western, London Midland, Scottish and British Railways. The authors candour and frankness is seldom found in railway writings and his pen portraits of the characters he met -a nd ocassionally crossed swords with - are refreshing and often amusing".
