James May sets out to show what is possible with old-fashioned toys by using them on a scale never seen before. In 2009, five toys were equal to the challenges set by James, but one failed - model trains. James and his team revisit the doomed challenge and make another attempt at building the longest ever model railway track - nearly ten miles long. Linking two Devon towns, Barnstaple and Bideford, the last attempt saw no trains reach their destination and James cherished childhood toy, the Flying Scotsman, fail to even make it out of the car park. This time the feat is bigger than ever before, as James challenges the two German proprietors of the world s largest toy railway museum to a race along the track. The locals of both towns are galvanised once again, and James old friend and railway enthusiast Oz Clarke turns up to lend a hand. Will the people of Devon ensure that for the first time in a generation, a train - however small - makes the journey between the two towns?

Richard Hammond reveals the surprising engineering connections between Japan s Bullet Train, the world s first high-speed train, and ancient charioteers, a crowbar, a medieval clock, the electric telegraph and a 19th-century luxury racing car. Nearly fifty years old, the Bullet Train is still pioneering new high-speed technology. Richard builds his own train to show how engineers reinvented the train wheel to prevent it violently shaking at its top speeds of close to 200mph (300kph). Things start to heat up when he visits a high voltage lab to find out how engineers eliminated the danger of 10,000 degree electrical arcs by devising an ingeniously levered pantograph - the connection between the train and the overhead power lines. They also made the train light to maximise acceleration, but as Richard finds out on a skid pan, this created a slippery problem only solved thanks to the world s first four-wheel-drive car - the Lohner Porsche. Obviously, four driven wheels were not enough for a Bullet Train, so engineers made it a 112-wheel-drive.
