Cameron's Engines More Stories from the Support Crew

Michael Mather, author of 60009 Union of South Africa: Stories of the Support Crew, returns with another book celebrating the camaraderie, challenges and rewards of keeping some of Britain’s best-loved preserved engines working. Part of the team that kept the locomotives of John Cameron active for decades, allowing them to be enjoyed by thousands of enthusiasts and the general public, Mather draws on the recollections of the support teams of 60009 Union of South Africa and The Great Marquess and shares an insight into life behind the scenes.Lavishly illustrated throughout, this is a celebration not only of these impressive feats of engineering - but also the men and women who allowed them to be enjoyed for years after they left service on the main line.
