Jump into action with the Railway Children!
When their beloved father goes away unexpectedly, Roberta, Peter, Phyllis and their mother have to leave their happy life in London and move to a simple cottage in the countryside. The children soon grow to love the railway that runs near by and wave to the Old Gentleman who regularly takes the 9.15 train. They make friends with Perks, the local Railway Porter, and have many exciting adventures. But the question still remains: where is father and will he ever return?
