BEHIND THE STEAM

First published in 1973, this is the story of the fun, work and adventures of the author who signed on as an engine cleaner at the GWR shed at Neyland in 1916 and retired nearly fifty years later, by then a BR express driver. This is a chronicle from the steam age of the engines and characters that made everyday different. Now reissued so that it may be enjoyed by a new generation of readers. 36 b/w photos. 224 pages.
