Blue Plastic Tracks

Here's a bit of inspiration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFoNeySZQ2c

Wow...is that awesome! Fantastic. Love the finish line tape. Looks to be all home made risers. I imagine that if it was for the Guiness book it would have to be a continuous run but with the statistics how did a battery last that long especially since a stock Thomas motor is not very fast. Thanks for sharing Plarailfan, very interesting. Hmmm how long did it take them to set up?

Quote:The longest plastic toy train track measured 2,888 m (9,475 ft 0.56 in) and was assembled by Thomas & Friends Team China in Shanghai, China, on 24 November 2012.

Thomas was the character-train used for this event. It took 4 hr 59 m 58 sec to travel the track. 13,769 pieces of plastic train track were used for this record.

Wish it was blue tracks! ;P

but that was awesome!

its neat, thats for sure! i think something similar was done at the ipswich railway workshops in australia. that one might have been blue track? cant remember.

The Ipswich layout is here buddy. I wonder if the same team built both layouts, as they look quite similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Gjw76y3Frc

Here's another record breaker, using the blue track. http://news.panasonic.net/archives/2013/1227_25442.html

Excellent but they should have put some scenery and other engines on!
