WE ARE THE GRAND CHAMPIONS OF THE IMECHE RAILWAY CHALLENGE 2024!!! 🏆
For the first time ever (and on our 10th anniversary), we are the overall winners, with our highest ever point score!

It was fabulous to talk to the iMechE about our new locomotive and some of the benefits of joining RCAS. Check it out here:
We spoke to Charlotte Currie, part of the engineering team from @sheffielduni, at this year's @RailwayCIMechE!
This year, @RailChallAtShef improved on their locomotive, simplifying their electronic systems by only using one chassis across both bogies.

Sadly I couldn't make the @RailwayCIMechE as I was broken from Rail Live. However, I was stoked the @RailChallAtShef team did so well. Up against teams with x10 the budget & companies with paid staff. The students held their own, with great times in maintenance & refueling.

The new loco seemed to run very well indeed. An impressive performance. And the technical poster was excellent.

Yesterday evening I went to see Sheffield Uni's IMechE Railway Challenge team. Starting to come together, big day 25th June at @Staplefordtrain. @RailChallAtShef team professional as ever. The @RailwayCImeche challenge is always hotly contested, so great to see so much progress

Reviewing the @RailChallAtShef design report for this year's IMechE Railway Challenge. As usual really impressed with the professionalism of the Sheffield Uni team - hoping they do well in this year's @RailwayCImeche
