It seem james may has been up to his old tricks again - crashing someone elses event in the name of journalism.
Security officers at Securi-Guard have monitored Top Gear presenter James May’s model railway challenge in North Devon.
The stunt, in which May raced a team of German model railway buffs along the Tarka Trail, was guarded with 24-hour cover.
A security team equipped with a lone worker monitoring device from RedWeb Technologies were spread out along the nine miles of track.
It comes after an attempt by the TV star to run a miniature train track from Bideford to Barnstaple in 2009 was thwarted when thieves stole batteries and sections of track.
Lone tracking helps TV show stay on track
The lone tracking devices were deployed so that the location of all the officers could be monitored to ensure every section of the track was protected at all times, Securi-Guard said.
Mark Tapper, business development manager for security services at Securi-Guard said: “We were delighted to be asked to provide a security presence at this event.
“Our security team provided a visible deterrent to anyone intent on committing crime and helped to ensure the whole event ran smoothly.”
The model railway race was filmed as a special for May’s Toy Stories series.
Around 1,000 people turned up at the recent event to see May take on three brothers, who run the world’s biggest model railway exhibition in Hamburg.
The two rival trains departed at opposite ends of the specially built section track, but the winner will not be revealed until the programme is screened later this year.
