[SIZE=4][B]LEGO® railway awarded Guinness World
Record[/B][/SIZE]
93,307 LEGO elements. That’s what it took to build a LEGO
railway long enough to be awarded a Guinness World Record for
the longest plastic toy train track – precisely 4000.25 meters
long.

[SIZE=13px][FONT=verdana]More than 80 LEGO enthusiasts gathered
in Denmark on the 10th and 11th of May 2013 to put the nearly
100.000 elements bricks and rails together. It took about six
hours before the electric LEGO train was set in motion. After
almost four hours of travel time the train reached the end of
the line and received the world record award.[/FONT][/SIZE]
[SIZE=13px][FONT=verdana]The man behind the world record attempt
is adult LEGO fan Henrik Ludvigsen, who got the idea after
noticing the large number of rails he had in his personal LEGO
storage. With the help of advertisements in newspapers and on
the internet he received blue LEGO rails from all over the world
– enough to set the world record.[/FONT][/SIZE]
