Based on the autobiography of the late Bob Nicks, who joined the GWR in 1928 at Newton Abbot. This is a frank examination of the life of an engineman in the days when the GWR was at its peak as a steam railway. The social attitudes of the era and the working practices were very different to those of today and will come as a revelation to the reader. Packed with photographs from GWR and BR days, this volume will appeal to all interested in Britain's railway industry through a time of immense change.
