The age of steam is past, the reality of Swindon Works is long gone now — but the legend lives on. What made the Great Western Railway's Swindon Works iconic? Was it its world-wide reputation; perhaps its profound impact in shaping New Swindon town; or that it melded those who worked "Inside" into one big family? This book, by popular railway historian Rosa Matheson, provides some answers; in a new, exciting format it helps explain why the never-ending love story continues. With big facts and fascinating stories it is a must read not only for "Insiders" and their families and heirs, nor just for GWR fans and railway enthusiasts everywhere, but also to newcomers seeking to find a way in to railway history.
