Guiness? It would certainly prompt Lego to get involved if just such an effort

I absolutely agree that the train layout should be more than one club.
The tent probably isn't big enough to set a world record for length of

tent (since PNLTC did a pretty good job of filling the tent with train
layout last year). We might have to work really hard to beat the record
on number of bricks used in a LEGO train layout (the GMLTC layout uses
quite a few more bricks per square foot than any other LEGO train
layout).
