    What he made of it was not Rocket science... Written with the co-operation of the family, author Mike Norman recreates his extraordinary life and accomplishments, portrayed through the family’s quest for social justice. His challenge is to the widespread belief that George Stephenson and his ’Rocket’ locomotive owned the bedrock of the development of the steam locomotive. Drawing on family correspondence, material newly found in archives and extensive digitised sources he lays out an explosive new account about the early pioneers. Rather, it is Timothy Hackworth who was the man who breathed life into the locomotive. His natural inventiveness and skill would be fundamental in shaping the advent of the steam locomotive, engineering its future. ‘It wasn’t Rocket science’ is controversial; the conclusions of the family quest will reverberate, transforming the debate about the pioneers.

    You want to be a steam engine driver? It's not that simple - it's not just a matter of blowing the whistle, releasing the brakes and opening the regulator. Where is the whistle? Which handle operates the brakes and what is a regulator? And do you really want to be in a locomotive cab where your front will bake and your rear will freeze? Over the years, accidents have occured on the railways and to prevent a reoccurrence, rules have been made. Do you know them? How are trains kept apart so that you don't strike the one in front, or are hit by the one in the rear? What's to stop trains on a single line colliding head-on? Colin Maggs has assembled a really fascinating collection of illustrated railwaymen's handbooks, which were required reading for a footplate man. They answer all these questions and more.

    William Adams (1823 – 1904) is probably best known from his locomotive designs for the London & South Western Railway. The years at Nine Elms were the culmination of career which began formally in marine engineering, including a period at sea with the Royal Sardinian Navy, encompassed civil engineering and surveying before joining the North London Railway as locomotive, carriage and wagon superintendent. This book tells the story of a genial man with a love of music, who was undoubtedly one of the finest late Victorian locomotive engineers.
