Looks like it is still going on, the website, and sometimes live video feed is here. ” The time frame for this record attempt will be the week prior to the National Garden Railway Convention in Phoenix.”
This is a big undertaking, and has quite a few bugs to work out from what I hear on MyLargeScale.com. I had to ask. Best of luck to you all.
Greater Humboldt Bay Garden Railroad Society has a website and email list.
The GHBGRS is a loose knit group of model railroaders who enjoy their trains in large scale and usually outdoors. We meet once a month (usually on the 2nd or 3rd Sunday) to enjoy the camaraderie and friendship of other model railroaders at a members home (oh, and to run trains!).
Rick Cartwright and Empire Builder Railroad Designs will break the current Guinness world record for running THE WORLDS LONGEST MODEL TRAIN. This record breaking run will occur April 26, 2008 at 2:00 PM. Some of the biggest names in Garden Railroading, USA Trains, Kadee, Locolinc, Large Scale Online (LSOL) and Eagle Wings Ironcraft have supplied equipment for and will be participating in this event.
Scottsdale, AZ (PRWEB) April 15, 2008 — At this time, the current world record for running THE WORLDS LONGEST MODEL TRAIN is held by Miniature Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany in HO Scale (1:87.1) at 361 ft 10 in (5.969 scale miles). The big difference between that record and this one is the SCALE of model railroad. This attempt will be made in G-Scale (1:24), will require 47 Locomotives, 540 pieces of rolling stock, on 1,252 Linear Feet of track at 6.91 Scale Miles. In essence beating the current record by almost 1 scale mile.
The hobby of Model Railroading (any scale) in this country is comprised of hundreds of thousands of people covering all walks of life including children ages 6 - 96. Empire Builder Railroad Designs is bringing this record home to the United States in order to bring greater attention to this hobby and hopefully bring a greater appreciation of how the Railroads contributed to building this great nation
The history of railroading in this country is rich, romantic and at least in our opinion deserves to be remembered and celebrated. This is our attempt at beginning that celebration.
Looks like Marcus’s and The Inn on 14th St in Arcata made it in to The Arcata Eye on the front page. Also Kiem did a spot on it on Thursday. Note you can watch past videos of kiem, at the same place, by searching for “kiem tv”.
