What is Rain, steam and speed about?

Peter and the children are enjoying a ride on their little railway when a sudden storm leaves them soaked. As they warm themselves beside the fire, Grandpa shares two true tales from the golden age of steam. In one, Driver Bill Hoole invites two drenched girls into his locomotive cab to dry off. But when the engine starts moving, their cosy ride turns into an astonishing railway adventure—and the girls find themselves unexpectedly stealing a train.
