    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.

    The opening of the railway in May 1885 transformed Swanage into a respectable seaside resort. The Swanage branch was busy during the golden age of railways due to high passenger, clay, stone demands. Although not included in the Beeching Report, British Railways were determined to close the branch and after much resistance from the local community it closed to passenger traffic in 1972 and the track lifted except for the section to Furzebrook, retained for clay and later oil and gas traffic. Following closure enthusiasts rebuilt the dismantled section over a 30 year period adding three additional stations and today the Swanage Railway is a much acclaimed heritage line. This work, the first to cover the complete history of the branch from the first scheme in 1847 through the failed schemes of the 1860s, its rise and decline in a changing world and subsequent preservation are all told within 288 pages, supported by more than 240 photographs, maps and illustrations.

    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.
