Peter's Railway - Racing Trains by Christopher Vine

Book 6 Hardback Series. Thrilling adventures at full speed on the little farm railway. With a new engine to complete, Grandpa and the children find out how fast trains can go! More adventures, projects and true stories from the old days.

Christopher Vine has always been fascinated by all things mechanical and electrical. In fact his first words were “Turn it on” and “Turn it off” which just about covered everything of interest. He started making things early on with his first working go-kart at the age of seven. It had a car battery and starter motor as motive power and a morse key as the switch. The next dangerous device was a motor bike made from a tiny child’s bicycle and a lawn mower engine. The drive involved a large and vital pulley from his mother’s washing machine. So started a lifetime of making things. The only thing he wanted for his eleventh birthday was a lathe. An old one was found for £20 which although worn out did, produce a small stationary steam engine, a Stuart Turner No. 10. Whilst he is a Chartered Engineer, his great interest has always been railways, steam engines and, in particular, model engineering.
