今天 7/8 在MOD ch30 上收看，本集是模型火車特集，真是熱血！ ^^

1.英國德國人居然把鐵道模型變成觀光客必到處！ 厲害。
2.一群人很熱血的跪在地上鋪鐵軌。

中文字幕翻錯鐵道模型的專有名詞，
=>把「OO軌距」翻成「零零」...囧

James May's Hornby, Barnstaple - Bideford (Episode 6)

May, who had previously identified the train set as his "absolute
favourite"[39] attempted to build the world's longest model railway. The team
hoped that a train would run successfully along the length of the track,
built on the picturesque Tarka Trail – a disused 37-mile (60 km) long
railway line acquired by the local council in 1990 and which was converted
for use as an off-road cycle track.[40] May chose the site because he thought
that people wanted to see a line rebuilt there and because of the dramatic
scenery. May joined 400 enthusiasts, including students from Petroc, to build
the miniature railway stretching 10 miles (16 km) from Barnstaple to
Bideford, in North Devon.[41]

The attempt was disrupted by vandals and thieves who interfered with the
track. Coins were dropped on to the line, causing short circuits and some
batteries and parts of the track were taken.[41]

Simon Kohler, marketing manager of Hornby model railways, said that the train
which travels at just 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h) failed two miles short of
Bideford station; but he also told BBC news "Even though the last locomotive
gave up the ghost at Instow, we did link the track – in fact I finished it
at about 2230 – so we'll just need to wait and see what Guinness make of
it.[41]

As shown in the programme, five trains set off on the track. The first,
James' own 1970s-vintage Flying Scotsman model with realistic chuffing sound,
failed very early (it had been out of use for many years). The other trains
were chosen to reflect the original services on the line: a steam-hauled
passenger train (a rebuilt SR 'West Country' class locomotive and Pullman
coaches), to represent the Atlantic Coast Express; a diesel-hauled passenger
train (a BR Class 42 Warship with Mark 1 coaches), to represent the
'everyday' passenger services; a diesel-hauled goods train (EWS-liveried
Class 37 and hopper wagons), to represent the clay trains that ran to
Fremington Quay; and the prototype of Hornby's Class 395 "Javelin" model.[41]
Passing sections allowed the faster models to overtake the slower ones. The
"West Country" locomotive had been carried by Oz Clarke on trains from London
Waterloo to Barnstaple, to replicate the original route of the Atlantic Coast
Express. The Javelin was the last train running.

今天MOD 20:00的bbc knowledge 播出詹姆斯梅的玩具瘋：火車競賽-第1集....

由德國漢堡的團隊跟詹姆斯梅的團隊比賽由兩個城市對開模型火車...

柴油火車:德國勝,唐老鴨用加電壓到18v的方式打敗英國的某車(我忘了)
蒸汽火車:英國勝,飛行蘇格蘭人打敗br01

未來火車
英國做了風扇火車跟氫電池火車...風扇火車掛了,氫電池火車比德國先跑完
德國做了酸菜火車跟鋰電池火車...酸菜火車一半就炸了,鋰電火車跑輸英國人

最後英國人勝...

今天 23:35跟明天清晨03:15和清晨06:55都還會重播

雖然起了大早，但是我07:20開始看的.....

假如沒看錯的話，
未來火車應該是"氫燃料電池 pk 鋰電池"

英國人及德國人似乎沒想像中的嚴肅，
比賽過程中，
一開始領先的德國組還在中途休息吃好料的.....
英國人還笑說，這不就是龜兔賽路的翻版嗎

開始期待明年的比賽了....

如果臺灣能找到公部門或公司贊助，
應該有機會可以在廢線上做類似的比賽的活動 (又在做夢了)
