Synopsis:

The Waterbury family are completely happy until mysterious men take their father away and they have to move up to Yorkshire without him. The three open-hearted children soon make many friends including their Old Gentleman whom they regularly wave to on his morning train journey. Bobbie, the eldest girl, makes contact with him to try and get help for the problems they are facing. Meanwhile the children find themselves involved in several unexpected dramas on the railway.

Story concerns a well-to-do family whose life is turned upside down when the father is unjustly jailed. The family, to save money, go to live on the Yorkshire moors and adapt to village life. The nearby railway becomes the centre of their activities.

After the enforced absence of their father, three children move with their mother to Yorkshire, where during their adventures they attempt to discover the reason for his disappearance.
