Next Episode of The Great Model Railway Challenge is
unknown.
For generations, in attics and spare rooms across the UK, breath-taking miniature worlds have been created by a dedicated army of highly skilled amateur craftsman. Now, The Great Model Railway Challenge will give these unsung artisans the chance to fulfil their ultimate funicular and locomotive fantasies, whilst competing against other masters of their craft.By providing them with resources they've only previously dreamt of, teams of train set obsessives will be given the chance to create Britain's Ultimate Model Railways – with each challenging episode exploring a theme which our modelling teams will interpret in the most exciting and unexpected ways possible. And helping judge these extraordinary miniature worlds will be professional modellers who also share the passion.Each episode will culminate in a classic ‘reveal' of these created worlds, before having their supersized model railways scrutinised by the judges. At the end of a six show run, during which the scale and ambition of the builds will be ramped up week by week, the victorious team will be crowned "Britain's Best Railway Modellers"
In heat one, three teams offer their interpretations of James Bond, Jurassic Park, WWII flick The Longest Day, and a tour through Ealing Studios. But one team wilfully breaks the rules of the competition on day one.
Heat two's theme sees the judges tuning in to model railway layouts inspired by beloved shows EastEnders, Doctor Who and Blackadder.
Heat three's theme sees the judges taking in the sights of miniature recreations inspired by locations all around the world.
The Fawley Fliers, The Diesel Dynamos and The Railway Children are the teams competing, and they each have to create a railway layout based on the creatively taxing theme 'Fire and Ice'.
The Wakefield RMS, Aberdeen Model Railway Club and the Shunter Guys compete for a place in the final by creating railway layouts based on the theme 'Waterworld'
The final five teams compete on the theme A Journey Through Time, creating models based on the Cold War, the industrial revolution, 1950s West Country railways, the 2012 Olympics, and all the way into the future.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
