Here's a fascinating episode of James May's Toy Stories.

May led a group that laid two parallel lines of HO/OO scale model train track outside on a rail-trail between two towns. An English team and a German team (from the Minatur Wunderland) then raced 8 OO-scale trains the entire 10 miles between the towns. Each team had a classic steam train, a modern diesel train, a futuristic train and a backup futuristic train.
