Summary
‘A unique phenomenon … it has real working steam trains’
For over twenty years, The Wolsztyn Experience provided an opportunity for railway enthusiasts to support and promote the last days of main line steam in Poland.
When Jeff Nicholls signed up for a week’s Experience in 2002, it was to become the first visit of many. Returning year after year, Jeff worked side by side with the Polish crews, learning the essential skills of firing and maintaining their beloved engines.

Critics Review
MEDIA REVIEW: ‘Over many visits in nearly 20 years, the author gets to drive a wide variety of steam locos and visit multiple sheds. Written in easy to read style, not full of railway jargon or overly technical descriptions … this book is highly recommended’ – THE RAILWAY MAGAZINE ‘What an adventure - told with such enthusiasm and wit. This journey rolls along with humour and perception at a rate at once too fast, for you don’t want it to end, and too slow for you can’t wait for the next chapter’ – Stuart Samuel, author of Heavenly Tidings & Railway Sidings
