World's Longest Model Train Record??

Well now we have a more to go on here. If the O-Scale guys did 700 plus then that is quite a feat in of itself. I wonder if Guiness would allow the auto coupler feature to be disabled? <br /> <br />As I recall the HO Scale exercise, the train was run over the outer loop then in place on the New Jersey club layout and the track was not flat and did have curves although they were the broadest curves on their layout. I think they made 3 complete loops in order to qualify for the record. <br /> <br />Today if the layout is large enough, 500 plus cars could be accomplished with the use of DCC although unless the track is perfectly flat, one would still need multiple engineers to control the train in order to control the slack. Metal couplers(Kadee 148's or 58's) metal wheels and NMRA car weight and track standards(maybe Proto87 track?) <br />would need to followed also. <br /> <br />So do we have any takers besides my group? <br />
