"What if the lever broke?" asked the inspector.

"Then I'd dash down out of the signal box" said Dave "and I'd use the manual lever over there".

"What if that had been struck by lightning?"

"Then" Dave continues "I'd run back into the signal box and phone the next signal box".

"What if the phone was engaged?"

"Well in that case" persevered Dave "I'd rush down out of the box and use the public emergency phone at the level crossing up there".

"What if that was vandalised?"

"Oh well, then I'd run into the village and get Nev".
