Overview
Come be a part of The Railway Challenge 2018, organised by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (Railway Division). This event showcases the culmination of locomotive building skills, expertise, knowledge, and business acumen of 11 participating teams of undergraduates, graduates in work and apprentices from across the UK and overseas.
The challenge, now in its sixth successive year, has and will continue to bring together teams, officials, volunteers, industry partners and the general public to a weekend filled with miniature (10¼” gauge) railway locomotives. They have been built to a set of strict rules and a detailed technical specification over the past 9-10 months and will now be tested live. Several categories of winners and an overall Railway Challenge champion will be crowned at the event.
Participating teams are:
1. University of Warwick
2. University of Sheffield
3. FH Aachen & Reuschling University, Germany
4. Siemens & University of Southampton
5. SNC-Lavalin Rail
6. University of Huddersfield
