Revised estimate now in.  Corrected length is actually 3343 feet.

Well done everyone - just curious about the actual continuous train run Ben -
what was the length of the longest 'loop'?

The Pacific Northwest Lego Train Club has just broken the Guiness Record for
the longest LEGO train Layout - 3232 feet, or 7752 pieces of track crossed.

Actually that is it, 3343 feet of one continuous run, after which we switched
(moved track around) over to about 28 separate lines, now that looked cool
having that many trains running a once. :-)  I think the longest loop at that
point was about 250 feet.

The highest count of moving trains I know of was 32, and that includes 3
monorails, a Duplo train, and a 4.5v train.  Unfortunately, the Duplo train
kept stopping every 2 minutes.  That's a great design for use at home, but
makes them really awkward to run at shows.
