David Maidment was born in 1938. He began his railway career in 1961 and although he retired from the railway industry over eighteen years ago, he is still busy as a writer, activist in the voluntary sector and as a speaker in schools, church groups and general interest clubs. In 1966, David received an OBE for services to the railway industry and, in 2012, he received a Life Achievement Award at the National Rail Awards. His published works include articles on railway history, safety, practice, performance and nostalgia, and several books including The Other Railway Children and Lives on the Line, among other publications.
The book is excellently illustrated throughout, in both black and
white and colour photographs, covering all periods of the
locomotive's existence. Highly recommended to Southern supporters
and others.-- "Historic Model Railway Society"
The work comes with an impressive visual section, 69 colour
photographs, 299 black and white and an appendix with 9 diagrams of
different types of machines. Without a doubt, another great piece
of work from the "Locomotive Portfolios" series.--José Manuél Rico
Cortés "Miniaturas JM"
