A 33.6-meter long train made entirely out of chocolate was unveiled at the Brussels Chocolate Week going on in Belgium. Constructed using 1,285 kg of the finest Belgian chocolate and packing an impressive 6.5million calories, the intricately detailed model was created by master chocolatier Andrew Farrugia from Malta. The model has entered the 'Guinness Book of Records' for the longest structure to be made entirely out of chocolate.

It's interesting that it looks so American! I wonder which train they used as a prototype?

I thought the sand sculpture artists were amazing, but this is something else.

My wife always said I drooled over trains.

They goofed up on a number of details like side rods and valve gear. The cab and ladder are rather wacky but it's good enough to eat, I suppose.

It could be improved with some kitbashing. Chew off, I mean, carve off that ridiculous cab ladder and porch for starters.
