今天 7/8 看到模型火車特集，真是熱血！ ^^

1.英國德國的鐵道宅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.
