Lego fan builds world's longest toy train circuit out of 93,000 bricks - and it takes more than three hours to go round

I am personally not a fan.  I want a townscape...some buildings etc.    I guess it's kinda cool b/c that thing is HUGE but, that just does not look fun to me.

Looks boring. Trains are great, but they really take the spotlight when combined with a nice scenery and landscape. Mountains, lakes, tunnels, bridges, harbours, terminals... all of this makes the railroad so much better than just plain tracks. With all that space they could have done a much better job.

I imagine it would be very cool to actually design and build it then it is to just watch it.  I mean, I love epic MOC's and who wouldn't turn into a giggling school girl when filling a basketball court with a single lego train circuit?

 

It would have been awesome to have about 200 small trains and set one going every 2 minutes or so for the duration.  That would quickly become sensory overload lol.

I would only spend this amount of time if it were dominoes.

Somehow you just reminded me of the old Domino rally sets from my childhood.  Ebay searched them out of curiosity, most resist the urge now :no: lol

Pretty awesome. I totally loved that set. I combined it with other stuff.

 

Dominos were rough though - imagine if you misstepped putting a Lego piece on a set and the whole thing fell apart?
