What's your longest??

This is not the longest I have run just the longest  I have a photo of.
They are mostly lightweight wagons.
The longest  has been 88 axles on several occasions. The track is level.

This is probably the longest train that I've run on my railway, which had most of the wagons I owned at the time in its consist.
 
I've obtained a few more trucks since then, but most of my trains are 5 wagons long, as the sidings at Weybourne, where the train is just passing, are only just long enough for trains of those lengths, and space preculdes me from making them any longer....

Well, there was the day that Elliott bought all of his 4 wheelers and we joined them to all of mine.
 

 
Like Puggy said though, some of these trains would completely fill my railway.

Well I've loved this thread! As the originator I am going to make Mike's freight passing over itself my winner- that is some proper tractive effort going on. But I also love those LGB of al kinds effortlessly pulling long trains like Keith just a few up from here.

I am certainly going to try and take a more brunelian approach to the next phase to allow this kind of stuff- all brilliant.

And yb281 love your layout so cool. I would love to see if you could get a chase its tale video clip.
 
Was the Jack pulls all caught on vid?

The narrow gauge didn't automatically mean short trains. Indeed as the wagons were often small a fair few were needed to make a decent payload.
 

 
From Festipedia,
In the trials of 1869/70 it was shown to be capable of hauling trains more than twice as heavy as the England engines. The details of two runs are recorded here;
The first train in September 1869 consisted of 111 slate wagons, 6 carriages, 60 passengers and 12 goods wagons. This weighed 133tons and was 1348ft in length. The train was divided at Hafod-y-llyn in case the loco stalled in Moelwyn Tunnel. With the remainder of the train, however, Little Wonder went through the tunnel at 23mph. On the return journey a speed of 35mph was recorded.
In July 1870 it hauled a train of 75 loaded slate wagons and 8 unloaded totalling 210tons approx from the Cob to Gwyndy Bank, where it was shown capable of restarting the train on the gradient. The loco averaged 13mph on the first part of the test.

Heres a small loco making light work of a decent length train.
