- Summary
- Pathe synopsis: Victor Martin is railway mad. His house is built to look like a station and he’s all prepared for the day when British Railways decides to re-open operations on the Isle of Sheppey. Meanwhile Victor and his wife Lulu are happy enough issuing tickets to visitors, keeping a genuine ex-LMS signal in working order and running their own "O" gauge railway in a shed at the bottom of the garden. Trains keep strictly to the St Pancras time-table of 1948 and they’re only late when mice get on the line.
