What's your longest??

Hi All,
 
Maybe because I am still young in G Scale years I am a bit obbsessed about BIG stuff...
 
In 2010 my debut layout is going to be heavily reworked to both expand and upgrade to sweeping curves only- primarily so I can have long trains!! Mwah ha ha ha....
 
My best on the currently windey hilly Cogges Railway is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efCXU3MD6pk
 
Oh and don't all go on about being into little realistic narrow gauge trains etc etc... you all must have tried to make a whacking long train at some point when the 5 year old in you came out. It's time to share it with the world!
 
The only rule is that you were there to see it- no youtube clips you've found when bored. Extra marks for little engines with long'uns!!
 
I await vids and pics of yummy g scale trains!

It's not the length of your train that counts, it's what you do with it .

The advantages of simplifying origami are two-fold

My bloomin' big loco's usual load is 30 opens 10 vans and a brake.
This was taken at a fellow members layout, try not to get a crick in the neck.

PS if you need a clue to find the loco take a look at this enlargement.

Please do not adjust your mind, there is a fault in reality.

RULE *8*

The most important rule...........
IT?S MY RAILWAY, I WILL RUN WHAT I WANT, WHEN I WANT, HOW I WANT, AND IF YOU DON?T LIKE IT..........

Ha ha I knew it!! mmts I thought you were having a laugh about your 0-4-0 for a minute, before the beasty came into view! Neil thats brilliant- but too camoflauged! And Mike what engine is that first pic- must have some weight to it!!

If you put any of those long trains on my track you could couple the loco to the last wagon and have a magic roundabout.
Love that shed-on-wheels of Mel's, I seem to be forming an affinity to tram locos - Crich Syndrome?

What have you found? The same old fears.

I have run longer trains on my own line than this, but it was the event that surprised - at GHWood's line, December 08, we had a double header, one loco ran out of gas - and my Jackpulled the lot, on Mike's, er , 'undulating and curving' line!  DLJ was there too, and we were all amazed the Jack could run a train of this weight!

....and another one once the train had made it to the top of the spirals:
 

 
The Harz 0-6-0T might be a small loco but it can certainly haul a long train up the spirals

Wasn't there a song about it?

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car. 

NOT FOR QUANTITY BUT FOR QUALITY I ONCE HAD 27 MAGNUS TRUCKS ON TOW BEHIND 99 7222

Well done Keith Kent
 
I am amused to see the modern intermodal behind the 0-6-0T. How I envy all you guys with the railways up and running. More than 3 years ago I bought a concrete mixer after chatting to Keith. It still has not done a mix. I was posted almost as soon as I got it.
 
Still one day! and boy when I can do it I will give you a long train!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! could be another 8 years yet! but have I got the stock and the engines!
 
It is really very encouraging for those of us without anything permanent to see you other guys beautiful railways/railroads. I have bought a load of track from Ash for a portable layout which I have finally started after about 4 years (kept promising Glyn G Scale Sussex). I have loads of LGB track I was going to lose but cant bear to part with after all...................
 
Please keep posting as many pics as you can, especially when I do not have to open them.
 
Keith have you got a class 66 like the ones we have down the bottom by Beachborough?
 
Cheers Clive

I like to run trains of 20 or more freight cars up to 35 with 4 locos heres my longest you tube film .

This is from Bigjack's, with the man himself and Mike also in the video.
 
And this attempt apparently didn't break the record either....
