There is also another program called Trackdraw. I used that program to design the first attempt to break the World record for the longest LEGO train track. I found it here: http://www.byggepladen.dk/downloadfile.asp?f=trackdraw%2Eexe Henrik

You can always find what you need at bricklink.com: Look here: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x466c11 Henrik

There is a tutorial here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=97921#entry1941766 Henrik

Finally the collection is complete, the last one (Market Street) bought a week ago. I use them every year around christmas - my daughter and I set up a display on the pool table: Henrik

I am asking for the value because it should be a part of funding the new project.... 42.195 meters of LEGO trains track.

I have a question - I hope you can help. If it is posted the wrong forum, sorry. I have a 10223 Horizon Express - perfect condition, MISB. On the box I have signatures from a lot of LEGO people including Jørgen Vig Knudstorp, Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen - there is 10 signatures on the box. Is it worth anything ? Thanks for your help Henrik

It is 42.195 meters. The same distance of a maraton run. It will not be made of the old blue tracks. Where and when - do not know yet. Henrik

I and the Danish LUG byggepladen will improve our record in the Guinness Book of Records. We have the current record on 4.000,25 meters. We will make 42.195 meters - the same distance of a marathon. Henrik

The Guinness record is now on their frontpage on the website: http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com We will later release some videos, but we have more than 200 hours of video we have to check, watch, edit and so on. You can also find it here: http://www.guinnessw...rom-lego-48675/ There is one special member of Eurobricks I wanna say something special to: Dear Marc (http://www.eurobrick...p?showuser=9215) thank you for the help with all the blue tracks you mailed me last year. THANK YOU - you have a special place in my heart. Regards Henrik

It is the blue tracks from the 4.5 volt era. I am keeping them - I have more than 100.000 old blue tracks in the collection. Maybe - someday - the record will be improved ... Henrik

This is the official measurements (valid only for the blue tracks) A straight rail is 16 studs long 16 studs * 8 mm = 128 mm A cirkulation path consists of 16 pairs of curved rails The outer diameter is 88 studs The inner diameter is 72 studs Then is the median diameter on a circular path 80 studs 80 studs * 8 mm = diameter of 640 mm The circumference at the middle of the rail body is 2010,6192982974676726160917652989 mm A curved rail pair has a length of 125,66370614359172953850573533118 mm A cross is 2 * 16 studs long 32 studs * 8 mm = 256 mm 520 cross, total length = 133,12 m 14504 pair of curved track, total length = 2.010,62 m 16000 pair of straight track, total length = 1.856,51 m Total length 4.000,25 This is controlled, checked, controlled again, approved, confirmed and check again by: - Guinness World records - State authorized public accountant - Quality manager at LEGO This is exactly the same calculations LEGO did, when they build the molding forms. This is only valid for the old blue tracks. The new RC tracks are only 7,99 mm for each stud. The Record is approved. Henrik

This is the official certificate, which we received on saturday from the adjudicator from Guinness:

All the blue tracks are my private collection (I have more than we used, so we make it even longer next time). I have bought a lot of old blue tracks from the whole world in the last 1.5 year. It took 6 hours to set up the whole track. And was assembled by 70 people. Henrik

Yesterday I and the Danish LUG Byggepladen made a new GUINNESS World Record for the longest plastic toy train track. We made 4.000,25 meters - made entirely of LEGO, using only the old blue tracks. We used 32.000 straight tracks 14.504 curved tracks, outer 14.504 curved tracks, inner 520 crosstracks 31.544 white sleepers A total of 93.072 LEGO bricks. The track: http://grehan.dk/leg...s/P5110037.html The official from GUINNESS World records announcing the new record: http://grehan.dk/leg...s/P5110043.html There are videos here http://www.byggeplad...k/gwr_video.asp Henrik

We will livestream the event. We will stream something from the whole setup on friday. Saturday the stream will go on from 9.00 - 16.00 danish time (1 hour later than GMT time). I will later leave 2 other links for the handheld cameras. But this is the main camera on the record layout: http://www.ustream.t...efterskole-lego Regards, Henrik

I have a lot of the blue tracks - I could make a monorail track measuring 10.000 meters........... Henrik

We have several wireless cameras, which we be mounted on the trains. These camera Will broadcast live videos. More about that later. I will consider, to make a timelap, but I Think it is a challenge, the area we have to cover is huge. Henrik

I have tried to finance the adjudicator by selling wagons to sponsors. We have just sold the last one. We have totally sold 40 wagons. You can see some of them here: The budget for the whole event is about 15.000 Euro Henrik

The guide is not ready yet. I have not got a legal promission to use official LEGO pictures, but we will take pictures of every thing at the event. I hope it will ready late this year. The Maersk train is not gonna happening (not this time.......). Henrik

On this date I and the Danish LUG byggepladen will present: - A new Guinness World Record for the longest toy train track made entirely of the old blue tracks. Length 4.000,25 meters (you can read more about this in another post) - For the first time ever, we will present every train set, station, track type, prototypes of tracks (we have them in blue, gray, light gray, Maersk blue, Black, White, red, yellow, green and some more), stations, polybags, sets, wagons and so on.
