A wonderful film - a bit kitsch but when taken in the context of a piece of period entertainment for kids, it's great!
The story is a about a railway station an orphanage, the orphans and their new young teacher, a mean property developer who arranges for a fire at the orphanage so he can re-develop it, a station porter wanting to be stationmaster, and a Jack Russell called Jim who saves Queen Vic and the orphanage.
Shame it's not available on DVD - far far better than many "kids" films made at 200 times the budget (e.g. Spy kids..)
My daughter wants to know why train stations don't look like that any more. me too...
