A personal account of life as a railway man who progressed from a boiler cleaner to the driver of some of the most famous steam and diesel locomotives in England - including THE FLYING SCOTSMAN and MALLARD.
Full of amusing anecdotes about colourful characters and mishaps. He also contributed a load of steam to a key sequence in the classic British comedy film “THE LADY KILLERS”.
Surviving flying bombs in World War II, and a terrible boiler explosion, Charles recounts his career from beginning to end with great humour - thus preserving his own contribution to an iconic period in our railway history.
