Autorenporträt

As the curtain closed for mainline steam traction, Brian captured with film and vivid memories, the sights, sounds and smells; the last acts of great mechanical and human railway personalities. Close friends with railway workers, Brian was a member of Alan Peglar's original Flying Scotsman support team, helped restore Bressingham's Thundersley, and ran with the A4 Sir Nigel Gresley.Brought-up with lathes, mills, the smell of cutting oil and steam, Ian developed a passion for science and engineering. Designing an LNER B17 steam replica as a teenager, he pursued a career as a professional engineer. Ian retains an admiration for the generations of engineers whose imagination gave birth to modern industry and transportation.
