Belgian Chocolate Train | O Gauge Railroading On Line Forum

This was an interesting bit on the news today. A real work of art!!

A train made entirely of chocolate sets a news Guinness World Record as the longest chocolate structure in the world. The train took more than 700 hours to construct, is 112 feet long, and weighs 2,755 pounds!! The sculpture, constructed by Maltese chocolate-artist Andrew Farrugia, is on display at a railway station in Brussels. The artist kept adding and adding to it. Sounds like something we all do in our hobby.

A train like that would be the most popular attraction in the neighborhood.

Kids would probably try to get a bite as it went by.

Operators would get sore throats yelling, "Don't eat the train!"
