Our World Record

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
WORLD'S LONGEST MODEL TRAIN

IT'S OFFICIAL!!  Model railroaders from the Museum broke the record for the world's longest model train at Wilmington's new Convention Center, as certified by Guinness World Records (TM)!!  The Museum received the Guinness World Records(TM) certificate for this accomplishment, to be showcased with other materials and memories of the record-setting event on April 23, 2011.  Congratulations to everyone involved in this landmark event!

A train consisting of 31 locomotives and 1563 cars was placed on 1000 feet of track in the Convention Center's main exhibit hall.  At about 925.55 feet long, this train traveled continuously for 750 feet to surpass the record set by Miniatur Wunderland in Hamburg, Germany in 2008.  The World Record Run was witnessed and documented in order to be included among other achievements listed by Guinness World Records.
