This is very obscure but you never know...
From my local library growing up I used borrow a series of books (and I read them all quite a few times) about a young lad who had a quite impressive model railway with different lines and even a mountain line (there were maps of the lines in the books), and on that railway the 00 figures came to life after he went to bed.
The figures had homes in the scenery and buildings etc and had various adventures, they were also able to drive the trains around (the more I write the more bonkers it sounds ).
The main protagonists of the story were all named after shall we say, quite famous names... There was a Drummond (I think he had a limp ), a Stroudley and maybe a Stanier but I’m not totally sure.
In one of the books the area of town that the house was in was badly flooded and I think that the floods were based on the ones in East Anglia in the 1960s with all the perils you can imagine that a 2cm high person with an old fashioned name and a limp might find themselves caught up in...
Does anyone remember who wrote these books.
I promise you that I’m sober as I write this...
