This blog is based around 'The Model Railway Men' series of books written by my late father Ray Pope which will all be coming out as ebook and print versions shortly starting with the first in the series "The Model Railway Men" which is available now in print and Kindle along with 'Telford and The American Visitor. and 'The Model-Railway Men Take Over' as Kindle only. Original copies of the series are available on Amazon and changing hands for relatively high prices. If you have any input as to what you enjoyed in the books I would appreciate it if you could share it here. You can PM me if you prefer. I have found that some people have said they would make a good film or series and I agree. I am now aware that many people still have these books and occassionaly re-read them. I believe the stories contain more depth and meaning than is immediately seen hence the re-reading which is usually the sign of a good book. What do the characters represent? Perhaps it was similar to society. The 'little guys' in the small world needed to be protected from the 'big, rich powerful guys' in the big world.
Aside from these potential political undertones there is a quirky surreal story that in later books sees Mark put into various situations to the point that Marks mother suspects her son needs to see a shrink because of all the weird goings on. In 'Telford Tells the Truth' Marks parents are made aware of the miniature family and a huge sigh of relief is felt by all. Moral? Don't keep secrets from those you love/trust? Allow the small guy to have a voice and be listened too. These moral issues are adressed and could provide food for thought for both young and older reader.
