Autor

Kenn Pearce spent his youth in Liverpool and nearby Widnes, where a gift of an Observer's Book of Locomotives aroused untapped interest in British Railways in the late 1950s. Together with like-minded schoolmates, he explored the grimy, sulphurous, but enchanting "steam sheds" that serviced locomotives in and around Merseyside. Now resident in South Australia, he has forged a career in journalism and had a family. Throughout his interest in railways and in particular steam has been a continuing theme.
