The Memory Train: A steam engine comes home
This is a warmhearted story by the author of Archie Charlie of British Rail.
It concerns two Englishmen employed by the Israel Railway Museum while it is in the process of adding a vintage steam locomotive to its steam railway collection. The story tells how they, their wives and families come to terms with issues relating to work, life and love.
And how do Flanagan and Allen from the golden age of British Music Hall fit into the equation? Their songs and humour liven up the story in many surprising ways.
Trains and pains. Words and music. Together, these elements form the substance of this very unusual tale.
