357:, while in others, large teams of volunteers were required to handle construction work - an example of this was the involvement of a project involving model trains, which required volunteers to help set up a vast line of track along with connecting power supplies to it, and then dismantle it afterwards - and so appeals were made in local papers for assistance by programme researchers. Some of the projects were so elaborate, that carefully planning had to be made to ensure that each ran smoothly and did not cause disruptions within the main area it was being conducted within.
684:, James May decides to rebuild the track in Scalextric, while training up a team of volunteer racers to compete against a team of experienced Scalextric racers. For his expert engineer and designer, the challenges of building the track include dealing with busy roads, a lake, several fences, and a major company headquarter that have been placed along the former Brooklands circuit, along with developing a firm method to keep the Scalextric cars on the circuit as much as possible. When race day finally arrives, May looks on to see which team wins, aided by race reporting from

After creating a design that is accepted for the show, the project soon has the momentous task of recruiting volunteers to make flowers, decorations and an entire tree, and providing a secure storage space for completed works of art. The real test comes when the team must set up the garden before the Flower Show begins, and seeing if it can capture the minds and hearts of those visiting the event. Although not considered a true garden, the project proves a success when judges deem it a worthy entry and give it a special award.

The programme focused on bringing some of the most notable toys conceived in the past into the modern era to a "new generation of children", by putting each toy into a complex, large-scale project involving the nature of the toy. The projects, often ambitious, required an extensive team of experts, and in some cases required a large group of volunteers to help achieve the project's goal.
