However, they soon come to love the railway that runs near their cottage, and they make a habit of waving to the old gentleman who rides on it. They befriend the porter, Perks and through him learn railway lore and much else.
They have many adventure, and when they save a train from disaster, they are helped by the old gentleman to solve the mystery of their fathers disappearance, and the family is happily reunited.
