An in-depth look at the team who worked with the renowned British railway engineer, with numerous photos included.
To renowned engineer Nigel Gresley must go great credit for many of the London and North Eastern Railway's achievements, but those around him have faded into obscurity and are now largely forgotten, even though their contributions were immense. To redress this imbalance, Tim Hillier-Graves has explored the life of Gresley and his team, and sought to uncover a more expansive picture of these events. This in no way diminishes Gresley's stunning accomplishments-but builds a fuller and more authentic view of a dynamic period in railway history.
The book draws upon many sources of information, some of it previously unpublished, to present a fascinating picture of all that happened and all that was achieved, often in the most difficult of circumstances, by a very gifted team of engineers and their exceptional leader.
