"Oh! Mr Porter" - 1937 film starring Will Hay

i found that as well but need a book title,i am totally stumped

[Infomaniac]

I found this on Amazon but don't think it is a novel: Oh Mr. Porter: Life on a Devon Branch Line in the Days of Steam by W.G. Clarke (Paperback - 21 Dec 1983)
1 used from £6.95
Anyway - good luck!

The Ghost Train ?

I don't know if this is any help - it is a play rather than a novel but there is a connection to the film "Oh Mr Porter"
