When all was said and done, we came up with a loop of track that was 28069.36
studs long (about 736' 8.74", or 224.55m). And if you total up all the track
used (but not in the loop), it's about 29769.96 studs long! The tally:

Long: 162 (4 not used in loop)
Short: 180 (1 not used in loop)
Curve: 312 (1 not used in loop)
Stop: 57 (all used)
Ramps: 174 (2 not used in loop)
Half-Curves: 38 (31 not used in loop)
Points as Half-Curves: 5 (all used)
Points as Straights: 31 (all used)

OMG!!!  I was a little meh when looking at the TD--thought it was just 'track
for the sake of track', but when i looked at the pictures...!!!!!

Fantastic!!!

Very nicely done!!

I love the incorporated track levels on the buildings--that looks so right!

Yeah, not going to compete with that (at least this year ;) )

  Monorail Record
 
NELUG recently held an event dedicated to setting the world record for the longest LEGO monorail track. From everything we had seen, the previous record was somewhere around 200-300 linear feet of monorail track, depending on how you counted it, (...) (12 years ago, 27-Feb-12, to lugnet.announce, lugnet.events, lugnet.general, lugnet.org.us.nelug) !
