In 2010 the first volume of Mike Jacob's enchanting memories of his
railway childhood was published. Memories of Isle of Wight Railways
combined personal reminiscences with accurate factual information.
Readers are privileged to see Hampshire railways in the 1940s, the
time as a child he first saw a sailor carrying bananas at
Portsmouth station-without knowing what they were, a strange
machine that turned out to be the Leader on a test run, and later
still, visits to Eastleigh and interviews with the works manager,
which revealed some interesting facets on Mr. Bulleid and his
engines. The story continues with equally wonderful descriptions of
visits from Kent across to Cornwall. This new title is copiously
illustrated with new material, a lot of which has never previously
published. Just like the first volume, this is a compelling book
that once started, will be difficult to put down.
