The working model of Brunel's atmospheric railway (BAR) was made and demonstrated at a museum event and a university festival event. The original system of BAR was run commercially in England for a year during 1847-1848. The driving system of BAR is very simple but there were many difficult problems in working service. In this paper, the authors made the working model of BAR to realize and show the Brunel's challenge : the driving mechanism, the design know-how, the dream and passion, etc. The all person played with and watched at the model enjoyed very much due to the running by a vacuum cleaner. The present paper describes the summary the detail of the model, such as materials, sizes and shapes, performance, problems, and further applications.
