Frank,
So that we are all on the same page about which layout you are referring to,
the Southern California Lego Train Club (SCLTC) had the huge train display
up in the Pavilion during BricksWest 2002. The Pavilion also had on display
a variety of other Lego MOCs that came from the PNLTC, LUGOLA, BayLUG,
BayLTC and countless other groups and individuals.
The PNLTC layout that you are probably referring to was displayed in the
LEGOLAND Pavilion during a "Club Weekend" in August 2001.

What about going for a world's record in Guiness? It would certainly prompt Lego to get involved if just such an effort was planned to be big.

| (...) I guess I should have been a little more clear. I was referring to the Club Weekend which was "last year". I guess I don't quite consider BricksWest '02 "last year" yet, it happened this year, although it is now the "last" (as in previous) (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.events.brickswest)
