An entertaining railway memoir covering the Diesel modernisation.
Aspects of railway and locomotive operations are explained clearly
with detailed examples. Will appeal to readers with a specialised
interest in Railway technology, engineering and history. I Would
Have Done the Job for Nothing is a fly on the wall account
detailing behind the scenes events of running a railway, including
the odd occasion when the fly got swatted. It covers life in a busy
locomotive works at Crewe during the age of steam and how the
authors' career developed and led to his moving from the Wirral to
the East Midlands to work in the Derby Locomotive Drawing Office.
He later transferred to the Headquarters at Derby just as the
Diesel rail car modernisation began. Working for this new team they
identified and resolved many issues of the new diesel locomotives.
Many of the facts within this book may never have been told first
hand, and although some were almost hilarious, others could have
been far more serious and ultimately dangerous to the public if
they have not been dealt with. The book aims to detail the
attraction of engineering and the highs and lows of the job itself.
It will appeal to readers with a specialised interest in
locomotives, railway engineering and history.
