James May: The Reassembler

[Eric Mc]

I recognised the motor as being the one fitted to my 1960s era Scalextric cars (sadly neither running).

Well that was one of the best things I've watched this Christmas. Very interesting.

+1 here

Thought that was excellent!

+1 Just watched it - lovely Still have most of my train set in a box - no track though ;(

[Eric Mc]

Now that I've seen what May did with his motor, I might have a go at refurbing the two 1966 era Scalextric cars I still have.

I liked the gadget he used to boost the magnet.

Just watched and thoroughly enjoyed this. Now looking through the Hornby website...

[mfmman]

Also just watched it

The secret of these types of show for me are limited 'amateur dramatics' and an engaging host. Hence why I like Salvage Hunters but detest American Pickers and the like even though they are a similar concept

[Eric Mc]

May is just such an engaging chap.

Looking forward to the next one.

Could definitely be longer for me. I thought they were an hour?

IIRC they are... Xmas special just shorter.

it's not even his shed, and the late F. Dibnar probably has that award in perpetuity...

Well, someone has to continue carrying the torch.

Has anyone else been searching ebay for grabbing screwdrivers and fibreglass pencils?

For me, that's a large part of the attraction of this series - and indeed the other stuff that he does.

I don't have much interest in Hornby Double O gauge trains (or many of the other things he has previously reassembled, for that matter) but his enthusiasm is infectious and, against the odds, he actually engaged my interest in what he was doing.

The thought crossed my mind - thanks for the reminder

[anonymous-user]

Great series. Looks like the food mixer tomorrow.

[snuffy]

I thought it was a very good programme. He was going great guns with the "chuffing in your bedroom" comments !

It's a pity Hornby is now China's finest mind you.

[Eric Mc]

Maybe not for long.

Trying to pick up his cup of tea with the magnifying lens on

[rednotdead]

Enjoying this one. He's the type of bloke you could have a good natter with down the pub about all sorts.

Something deeply satisfying about this show, yet it's so 'casually' put together..

As mentioned about the previous episode, I have no interest in the subject matter but am transfixed. It is such a good watch with the excellent James May.
