Scalextric

James builds a Scalextric racetrack around the full length of the disused Brooklands racetrack in Surrey. Much of the former racetrack has now been built on, so his track needs to cross an ornamental pond on a pontoon bridge, climb a staircase in an office block via a spiral ramp and run through the streets of a housing estate. He then races two cars around the 3-mile track.

Hornby

James builds a 10-mile 00-gauge model railway on the trackbed of the disused line from Barnstaple to Bideford in Devon, and then runs model trains along the track, in an attempt to break the world record for the longest model railway.
