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.

I must know - how long did it take for a train to complete a single circuit??

Well done!!

It took roughly 30 minutes to run the ~3343 feet of the layout. We maintained a
fairly regular speed thru that - hit a few slow spots when we slowed to a
crawl.  I think we had 6 controllers - each connected to 2-3 track locations -
and had a coordinator cue the folks working each controller.

Maybe someone else timed it more exactly or logged the precise connections.
