About the Author

Kevin McCormack is a lifelong railway enthusiast who was brought up in Ealing, West London. However, he was born in Scotland and lived there for nearly a year, in a bungalow facing a level crossing (!), when he was aged six/seven in the early 1950s. After that, family connections caused him to visit Scotland almost every year up to 1965 and he developed a great affection for Scottish steam locomotives, particularly the older types which were early victims of dieselisation, many of which are featured in this book.
