Fascinating history of the North British Locomotive Company, one of the largest builders of locomotives, which in its time built over 30,000 locomotives for railways around the world. Its collapse in 1963 ended over 130 years of industrial might. Mr. Macmillan, who began work there as an apprentice in 1947, describes all stages of the construction process including the forge, boiler shop, wheel shops and erecting shops. His first-hand description of work practices is unique. With black and white photos on almost every page. 80 pages.
