The Tunnels Secretary’s Challenge
This Challenge took place at our September 2018 Meeting
This Challenge celebrated the fact that 2018 was designated ‘The Year of Engineering’ by the UK government. The London Transport Museum marked it with two new exhibitions that took visitors behind the scenes to discover how engineers shape the world around us — ‘Digging Deeper’ and ‘The Secret Life of a Megaproject’ (i. e. Crossrail, which, for our foreign members who may not know, is a new mainline railway line, a lot of which is in tunnels under the centre of London).
The challenge, therefore, was to build a model which had something to do with tunnels.
