Fantastic! I love everything James May has done besides Top Gear. His series on marvels of Industrial Revolution engineering was fantastic, and this looks great!

For those of us who aren't lucky enough to live in the UK wink , here's the clip on youtoob:

Awesome!

Next time I go to UK, I'll make sure to visit the museum to have a look at the model.
I'll have my 12 yrs old son watch this but we will have to stick with 32:1 scale at most...
