James Mays toys revisited

[crmcatee]

He's on the trains tonight - I thought it was a repeat but no, it's a race Brits v's Germans.


Looks interesting.

That does sound like a repeat, didn't the original train episode involving a bunch of germans?

[crmcatee]

Thats what I thought - but this time it was two tracks along the 10 mile track - The Germans race one way, the Brits the other way.

Couple of classes of train - Steam, Diesel and alternative energy.

They failed at the original task, so this was a further attempt, with a twist of a battle against the Germans

[CooperD]

Really good programme. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

[JagLover]

Good Fun

Heads up- Being repeated on BBC2 now!

[Laurel Green]

Just watched it. Loved the track-laying machine and, the innovative 'experimental' trains. Good fun between the Brits and Germans. Two one, two one.

Watched this lastnight, it was good. The experimental trains were great, with the German train blowing up, then taping more batteries to the second one to balance it

[Morningside]

I found it very watchable (Even the wife did!!!).

What was a disappointment is BBC2 putting on too many repeats (Top Gear, older James May series) and this one nearly got lost in the scheduling.
