He takes on a retired engine driver, Edward Bere, or 'Teddy', to help get the engine going. He also discovers the railway line continues, still partly buried, across his neighbour's land, and he seeks permission to uncover the track over there, too.His local M.P. is impressed and promises to raise question of opening some of the old country railway lines, thus giving the tourist industry and the public in general a wonderful alternative to travelling by car on overcrowded roads.With the help of the three children, some friends and Teddy Bere, their gala day arrives with the opening of UNCLE ROLLO'S RAILWAY.
