Unstoppable -- new train movie

[RobertInOntario]

James May from Top Gear also has his own show, James May's Toy Stories. On one he built the world's longest OO railroad, connectiong two real cities. He did a similar thing with Scaletrix slot cars. Reportedly, he is a model railroader himself.

Yes, I heard a lot about that show but have never seen it. May set up Hornby 00 (similar to HO) track along a bike trail in Devon -- this bike trail follows an abandoned railway line, so he was trying to run trains along that line once again but in miniature form! However, I think bad weather and vandalism got in the way of making the project a real success.

Through James May's Toy Stories, he is trying to get kids away from computers, video games and electronic gadgets and into more traditional "toys," such as model railroads, mecanno, slot cars, etc.

Apparently, James May is also a model railway enthusiast.
