Summary

Pathe synopsis: Take a train - to Cadeby, near Market Bosworth, Leicestershire to meet the vicar who thinks model railways are something like heaven. He’s built a scaled-down version of the Great Western Railway as it was between Newton Abbot and Totnes, Devon, when steam was supreme. He uses it to convert atheists and to make contact with young people in the Parish.
