About the Author: Andy McMillan has been keenly interested in railways and their surroundings from a very early age. He witnessed first hand the drama of London termini during the last decade of steam, saw the final takeover of diesels in 1968. In 1979 Andy moved to Dorset and became a professional landscape model railway designer and builder, a career he has now pursued for over thirty years. A life-long modeller and historian, Andy has had many magazine articles published and has been the co-author of a number of books.
