Railway Challenge 2027 Team Registration - Entry Level

Summary

Register your team for the Entry Level category of IMechE's Railway Challenge 2027 competition.

Now in its 16th year, the Railway Challenge continues to bring together teams of university students, as well as apprentices and graduates working in industry from across the world to test their business knowledge, design ability and technical skills in a live test environment.

For institutions which have not previously participated in the Railway Challenge, there is an Entry Level option and the intention is that this provides teams with a stepping stone towards a full entry in a future year, where it may seem too daunting to both design and construct a locomotive within a single year.

Teams taking the Entry Level option are not required to manufacture a locomotive being only required to submit a design of their proposed loco. The design must follow all rules of the main competition, but Entry Level teams must also submit a CAD model to demonstrate the overall structure of their locomotive and a more detailed design of one chosen sub-system. Entry Level teams are still expected to compete in all the other presentation challenges.
