Synopsis
Fascinating description of the author's life as an apprentice on the Great Western Railway where he graduated to the drawing office until the ned of the steam era when he was seconded to the East African Railways office in Nairobi, Kenya. The author discusses the characters he encounters, his wide experience with locomotives (both as an enthusiast and an engineer), his view of the GWR compared to other British and European railways, an appreciation of the work done by C. J. Churchward, and a discussion of his work for the East African Railways. Illustrated throughout with numerous black and white photos of GWR and EAR locomotives. 216 pages with index.
