Summary

Pathe synopsis: Mrs Beryl Evans runs her own taxi service but when she gets home to Slough in Buckinghamshire she starts driving all over again - a train. A model train, of course. For the last eighteen months she’s built, in her living room, a complex miniature railway and a sprawling town she calls Evansville. She even wears a train driver’s hat, just to add that touch of authenticity to this front-room fantasy.
