the catastrophic derailment of the russian royal train on 17 october 1888 killed 21 people, however alexander iii, along with his wife and children, survived. after this accident, a so-called temporary imperial train was composed of several surviving cars of the wrecked train, with the addition of several converted passenger cars of the nikolayevskaya railway. the emperor also had at his disposal a standard gauge imperial train, used for traveling to europe; this train set was purchased by the russian railway ministry from chemins de fer de paris à lyon et à la méditerranée in the 1870s, and was deemed to be technologically obsolescent.

a 10-year-old boy named measle is living with his horrid guardian, basil tramplebone. measle's life is horrible and boring. basil builds a detailed train set using money that was left for measle by his parents and plays with it, while all measle can do is watch him. desperate to play with it, measle tricks basil into leaving the house by telling him that there is extra money in the bank. his plan backfires, and basil catches him playing with the train set when he gets home. basil magically shrinks measle and placed him in the train set. measle meets frank, the electrician who wired the train set, who is all plastic except for his mouth. measle then feeds him some carrot, which restores frank to his previous human-form. frank reveals that the glazed-donut crumbs and lemonade left by basil turn you to plastic if eaten. together they rescue prudence, a wrathmonkologist; william, an encyclopaedia salesman; kitty, a brownie scout; lady grant, a town official; and kip, the carpenter who built the table and most of the train set's detail work.
