Norman Wiltshire - 26907 GWR
Welcome to SteamTales.

This web site is dedicated to the memory of Norman Wiltshire, who served on the Great Western Railways in England from January 1939 until December 1979, and all of those who lived and worked in the glorious days of Steam. To start with, I hope you will enjoy reading the selection of tales as told by Norman and some of those who worked with him out of Swindon on the GWR.

If you worked on the railways, steam shipping or any other steam industry, anywhere around the world, or you know someone who has, and have a similar tale to tell that you would like to share with the world of steam enthusiasts, please send your story for inclusion using the Submit a Tale form.

My hope is that over time an online database of stories and tales from the Great Steam Age will be available for all steam enthusiasts to enjoy.

Ian Hamilton
(Nephew of Norman Wiltshire)
