In his own words –
My presentation looks mainly at the engineering side of my life on the railway, showing some of the areas l had to work at, plus a look at some of the various vehicles and equipment used, relative to the permanent way, spanning over 48 years in railway service at both Stratford MPD and Ilford Car Sheds.
