noiseboy72 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 We are team Muddle and Go Nowhere. This was the logo one of our team created. Any similarity to the Midland and Great Northern Railway logo is entirely coincidental... See us in Heat 5 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Davis Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Now I'm confused, so can I check, please? Friday 30th August, Channel 5, because Radio Times says different. Thanks Tony 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted August 20, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2019 Hmm, Radio Times website reckons Aug 30th at 8pm, the first episode of 6 about luxury trains (the blue train) followed by the World's Most Expensive Cruise Ship, and the Channel 5 website only goes as far as 27th August. Channel 5 up to its old tricks? Not seen any trailers on Channel 5 yet, either. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

whart57 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 I made a call to the producers Knickerbockerglory and they say Channel 5 has pushed GMRC back a few weeks, probably to mid-September. New dates are expected shortly 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoLadies CF Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Yes. I too have had confirmation from Knickerbockerglory that the GMRC has been put back probably until mid September. More chance for a younger and probably wider audience to watch it .... which is a good thing. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted August 20, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 20, 2019 And time for the Loco Ladies to step out of the shadows (one of the Heat 3 teams) Another Heat 3 team were the Railmen of Kent Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the other team (The Cambrian Coasters) in front of my camera, sorry. 3 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoLadies CF Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Hi Ian. Good to be in contact. Nice pictures too. How are you all? Pleased the GMRC has been put back to September too. One of my team was set to miss the first two as were some of my family. This is is the only picture I got of the Cambrian Coasters! They were having a discussion about something. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian Morgan Posted August 21, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted August 21, 2019 One of the male teams in Heat 3 were all from a single family, but I do not remember which team that was. It has been a mad year for the Basingstoke Bodgers, but when this year's series airs, perhaps we can drop back into obscurity and get on with our 'proper' modelling. To all the teams, have fun, enjoy yourselves, and get ready for the 'selfie' requests. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LNER4479 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Team Grantham checking in. Look out for us in Heat 5, Friday 11th October Copious pictures taken but obviously can't post those just yet so I'll just leave these here for now. The team photo was taken by Mr Flint no less for possible inclusion in a feature in Railway Modeller. Looking forward to seeing how it all comes across on the little screen. 7 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
noiseboy72 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 It was only slightly confusing having Team Grantham - from the North East AND a team from Grantham (Muddle and Go Nowhere) in the same heat! Hopefully the audience will work it out!! This was our shot taken by Steve Flint. I gather there's a special publication dedicated to the series coming out to coincide with the transmission date. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold TravisM Posted August 31, 2019 RMweb Gold Share Posted August 31, 2019 Five of the Corby Steelmen ready to go, but the sixth, the old fella is lying down on the job lol. We were in heat 1 and shown on Friday 13th, so not sure if this is a good or bad omen lol. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Ian J. Posted September 1, 2019 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 1, 2019 As 3mm seems to have made an appearance, I wonder if there will be any 2mm layouts this year? While I model 4mm, I think for the general public that 2mm being on the show could help interest in the hobby as it allows for layouts that can fit in today's rabbit hutch homes. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
