The Author's memories of Swindon Works 1944 - 1951, as an office boy and apprentice - much detail on the engineering techniques practised at Swindon Railway Works after the second world war. The sights, sounds, smells, personalities and jobs remembered with nostalgia and affection from steam days. Renowned throughout the world as a centre for engineering excellence, the Swindon Works of the former Great Western Railway, hold a special place in the affections of rail enthusiasts. With its untimely passing in 1986, the famous phrase 'built at Swindon' will no longer adorn new rolling stock.

From fitting and turning to locomotive erection, the working practices and craftsmen of Swindon Works are recalled with great nostalgia and affection.
