The joy of Hornby remains centre stage throughout as James plans the second assault on the prize. As before his own 1972 Flying Scotsman (with realistic chuffing sounds) will lead the charge.
This time James develops a totally fresh approach to the challenge. He’ll select a crack team of engineers, and he’ll test out new power systems and trains. The key to success will be keeping the trains on the track – so James’ team comes up with a revolutionary yet temperamental track laying machine that almost derails the whole race.
