This series started as a tribute to the Ian Allan Combined Volumes so much revered by the trainspotters of the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and beyond. Running Out of Steam the first in the series sold out within a few months of publication and the follow up volumes The Glory and The Steam and Schooldays and Steam Days are selling fast with readers asking for more! So bearing in mind every 'Gricers' story is as different as the areas, locosheds and stations visited back in the days of steam there is no shortage of potential material! These pocket sized volumes are already proving a big hit and we are developing further projects forte future. In this unashamed reminiscence, John Walker reflects on the highlights of a decade of train spotting during the late 1950s and early 1960s and beyond...and recalls some of his more memorable moments. Born with 'steam in his lungs', most of his spare time in his formative years were spent with pencil and notebook in hand around the West Midlands and sometimes further afield.
