harukablue Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Sorry but this isnt available outside the UK (I think??) but on BBC2 8PM tomorrow night, James May attempts a 10 mile OO/HO world record again on the same old track bed. May be on you tube at a later date as the original attempt was;- 1 Link to comment
Mudkip Orange Posted June 11, 2011 Share Posted June 11, 2011 Wait he's doin' it AGAIN? Will they sabotage the class 395 this time so it doesn't win again? Link to comment
harukablue Posted June 11, 2011 Author Share Posted June 11, 2011 Not too sure, this time he is up against the team from Minatur Wonderland in Hamburg who are also trying for the title,,,I'm at work so booked to record it :) Link to comment
KenS Posted June 12, 2011 Share Posted June 12, 2011 The Youtube video is "not available in your country". Annoying lawyers. Shakespeare had it right. I'm sure it'll turn up on BBC America eventually; the original Toy Stories series with the first attempt was on last winter. Link to comment

Do a youtube search for "James May Hornby" I am sure my cousin in Boston has watched the full hour in all via about 6 youtube videos. Link to comment

rankodd Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 The Youtube video is "not available in your country Somebody download and share (discreetly of course). The Pirate's...Den? Cove? Wharf? It's on the tip of my tongue. Rhymes with "May"... Seems to have a copy. Link to comment
Claude_Dreyfus Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Although James May's Toy Stories was well worth watching, viewers in the UK were treated to Richard Hammond (also of Top Gear fame) investigating the science of high speed rail travel a couple of hours earlier on BBC2; using the Bullet train as his example. Plenty of views of 300, 700 and N700 series...with particular emphasis on the N700. Link to comment
clem24 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 This was a great ep! It was interesting that all the trains made it to their destination. Essentially: about 760 scale miles, and the quickest train (German IC/Duck train) made it in 7 hours I think? It was even more cool to see the alternative "fuel" trains (without ruining it). Toy stories was an excellent series, but kind of sad that there were only 7 eps made in total. Does anyone know why the run was so short? My guess is too expensive to produce? Not enough viewers?
