Keith Joyce – appreciation
Keith Joyce
Train Alive! This is a book with a difference. It’s the blue print of the layout of the carriages and engine making up the train that American General Dwight Eisenhower used in Britain during World War 2. It’s the only known blue print to exist – kept safe all these years with other memorabilia Keith’s grandfather collected of his time looking after Eisenhower. There are other developments under discussion concerning the collection – watch this space…
How did Train Alive arrive with TSL? Literally, it was one of those chance encounter discussions in a coffee shop. All credit to Keith for his leap of faith – we’ve both learnt a fair bit more about railway interest groups and museums – on both sides of the Atlantic.
