Casey, Whitehouse & the Toy Cars

Casey, Whitehouse and the Toy Cars was originally the 3rd Story created for the Miniature Railway Adventures. It was first written in 2011 by Michael White.

Plot
Casey and Whitehouse have been asked to help out at Drumawhey Junction for the day, but Whitehouse is asked to drop off a parcel that had been left for Cars as well looking after Boomer, the small terrier dog. When he arrives at Cars' house Whitehouse finds that the front door is open but nobody was inside. He leaves Car's parcel on his hallway counter and goes to pick up Casey. Casey, who had skipped breakfast that morning to get ready, asks if he could have one of Whitehouse's sandwiches. Upon looking in the wrapped parcel they are kept in, Casey finds that instead of "Salami, Pepperoni and cheese sandwiches" he finds a collection of rare model cars. Whitehouse realises that he got his sandwich parcel mixed up with Cars parcel. When they get back to Cars' house, the two find that a police search had taken place and Cars explains that he had been robbed and all of his private collection had been stolen. The only clue the police could find is Whitehouse's sandwiches and they refuse to give them back on the count that they are evidence. Casey and Whitehouse return to Drumawhey and wonder what could have happened to the prized collection. It was only when Boomer stopped them in their tracks while carrying out a track run did they find the answer. Boomer leads them to a large rabbit hole where he indicates that there is something inside. Upon inspection, Whitehouse finds a sports bag containing the missing collection. How they came to be there is unknown but Casey and Whitehouse waste no time in returning them back to Cars. Cars is very thankful and as a reward he gives the two a copy of the next society newsletter containing a reward for whoever finds the missing models. Both Casey and Whitehouse agree that Boomer would get the reward, seeing as he found the models.

Audiobook
A fully casted audiobook was adapted in 2012. But it wasn't released until April 2014. This was due to the original edit to be lost and a newly edited version was created to replace it. The Audiobook can be found on YouTube.
