July 24, 201212 yr I congratulate you, but only hope to see it twice as long one day!!! I like that you started this as a 6 year old with a crazy idea! Brilliant. I wish I had thought of a future with my Lego bricks when I was a youngster.

I wish I had thought of a future with my Lego bricks when I was a youngster. The next attempt will be more than twice as long............ You will be surpriced.... Regards Henrik
July 28, 201212 yr Author Here is a timelap from the buIlding of the track: Later on a video will be online. Regards Henrik
July 28, 201212 yr Congratulations to this cool & super crazy accomplicment ! Looking forward to the next level !
July 29, 201212 yr Congratulations on your achievement! Where did you find all the required white sleepers?
July 30, 201212 yr Author Congratulations on your achievement! Where did you find all the required white sleepers? I bought them from LEGO in a LUGBULK program. Regards Henrik
July 31, 201212 yr Congratulations! What an achievement! And you want to do an even longer track..? I can't wait to see that. Very interesting track design with three section. The middle sections is only with curves, I guess that is to use all the curves you have and not to let any track you have go to waste.
July 31, 201212 yr That is amazing! It all looks so cool when completely made up, so you're going for the Guiness World Record next?

The next attempt will have more curves - I will use all my tracks, both straight and curves. Regards Henrik

August 2, 201212 yr An amazing accomplishment, that is quite a bit of track. I would like to see a Monorail version of this.

August 3, 201212 yr Well done guys - a substantial achievement. How many laps did the batteries last? Even more impressive would be the longest fully-scenic railway, with the entire scenery made from LEGO parts and no empty baseplates with just track on them. What is the longest scenic railway? I don't suppose mine is anywhere near it at 2 circuits of 4.8m x 3.6m - a looped-eight with about 23 straights in each long straight (x4), 10 on the short ones (x4) and 3 in each of the 8 curves per double lap. I think quite a few LUGs have made much longer collaborative layouts, even if non-scenic fiddle yards are discounted from the track length. The building of scenic layout modules would take a while but final assembly of the 48x48 modules would be quicker. Mark
August 3, 201212 yr Author I live in Canada... it says its blocked in your country on copywrite grounds All the music and other stuff is NOT protected by copyright. It is fully legal. Regards Henrik Well done guys - a substantial achievement. How many laps did the batteries last? Even more impressive would be the longest fully-scenic railway, with the entire scenery made from LEGO parts and no empty baseplates with just track on them. Mark The train can run for about 18 hours on the same batteries. A lap took just under 1 hour and 55 minutes. The next track will be more than 1.000 squaremeters in area. There is not much space between the tracks anyway. Regards Henrik
August 3, 201212 yr I live in Washington state, USA. I've read Safari can get around this, because of the server-hopping way it accesses the web. Can anyone confirm? I don't have Safari on my system, and I'm not sure if it's available for my OS (Ubuntu 10.04)

August 6, 201212 yr So do you actually know how far that is in an approximate scale for that little engine, as in if it were life size scaled up how many KM would it be?
