The team hoped that a train would run successfully along the length of the track, built on the picturesque Tarka Trail – a disused 37-mile (60 km) long railway line acquired by the local council in 1990 and which was converted for use as an off-road cycle track.[40] May chose the site because he thought that people wanted to see a line rebuilt there and because of the dramatic scenery. May joined 400 enthusiasts, including students from Petroc, to build the miniature railway stretching 10 miles (16 km) from Barnstaple to Bideford, in North Devon.[41] The attempt was disrupted by vandals and thieves who interfered with the track. Coins were dropped on to the line, causing short circuits and some batteries and parts of the track were taken.[41] Simon Kohler, marketing manager of Hornby model railways, said that the train which travels at just 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h) failed two miles short of Bideford station; but he also told BBC news "Even though the last locomotive gave up the ghost at Instow, we did link the track – in fact I finished it at about 2230 – so we'll just need to wait and see what Guinness make of it.[41] As shown in the programme, five trains set off on the track. The first, James' own 1970s-vintage Flying Scotsman model with realistic chuffing sound, failed very early (it had been out of use for many years). The other trains were chosen to reflect the original services on the line: a steam-hauled passenger train (a rebuilt SR 'West Country' class locomotive and Pullman coaches), to represent the Atlantic Coast Express; a diesel-hauled passenger train (a BR Class 42 Warship with Mark 1 coaches), to represent the 'everyday' passenger services; a diesel-hauled goods train (EWS-liveried Class 37 and hopper wagons), to represent the clay trains that ran to Fremington Quay; and the prototype of Hornby's Class 395 "Javelin" model.[41] Passing sections allowed the faster models to overtake the slower ones. The "West Country" locomotive had been carried by Oz Clarke on trains from London Waterloo to Barnstaple, to replicate the original route of the Atlantic Coast Express. The Javelin was the last train running. --
