The author's time spent on the on-track machines offers us a rare insight on what it was like to work as part of a team on these machines. This is a subject that up until now has been somewhat neglected by railway authors. Just over seven years later he made his last move on the railway to be statutory engineering inspector in the Chief Mechanical and Electrical Engineer's Department at Derby, but based at Nottingham. In Steam, Diesels and On-Track Machines John describes the hard life that he led as a fitter, often working at night and at weekends but shining through it is his determination to get the job done as quickly as possible, often showing great resourcefulness and determination in undertaking difficult jobs himself on the spot, while others wanted to send for a breakdown crew. He also brings out the camaraderie and the good humour of his fellow workers, not to mention the practical jokes some of them liked to play on each other.
