    This Sunday (7.1.18) at 8pm on Channel 4 a new series starts in which a team of enthusiasts attempt to build the longest model railway in history, 71 miles from Scotlands East coast to the West coast.It looks like Gauge 1 or larger having seen a trailer tonight but should be interesting??
    Cheers

    I saw some shorts for this Ron and it looked quite interesting and using a live stream loco as well may be a while before we get to see it down under though.

    You may recall me posting a 7mm scale work of art a few weeks ago (Here)
    Nick Dunhill the gent that built it was one of the many volunteers on the project. It sounds like he had loads of fun.

    I've tried every which way to try and watch it on line but they have the rights tied up and no IP address out side the UK can watch it even the app store won't let you download the viewing app it said, unavailable out side the Region and the app isn't isn't authorised for down loading in your region :faint::faint::faint::faint:

    Looks like will have to wait 2 years before it's screened down under :facepalm:
