Re: World's longest narrow gauge passenger train
With the recent disposal of two thirds of my coaching stock, I'm proud to add a whopping 16" of coach and short-wheelbase guard's van.
On a more serious note, both these trains are boggling my 2am-tired mind.

Re: World's longest narrow gauge passenger train
Me also, "how can they have all of that power drawn in the same section"
I know parts of London Underground are restricted to how many units can be in the same section and Tyne & Wear Metro had an issue at the end of Great North Run a few years ago with something like 6 trains sitting in the South Shields section when the max is supposed to be 4.

I can add a meagre 2450mm ( /16 = 153 feet) to that total of 1651 feet, giving us a total so far of 1804 feet.
Who's next?

Re: World's longest narrow gauge passenger train
Happy to add my collection of four Brandbright 4-wheelers for another 800mm. Would need a long coupling chain to reach me in Canada though!
Re: World's longest narrow gauge passenger train
Thanks Big Ted!
With Philip's addition, we're now at 2,024 feet...
Ted, I think we'll have to discount the coupling chain because - although we'd definitely break the record, to stretch that far the chain would need to be over 3,500 actual miles long...
Talking of long distances - do any of out Australian members want to play? A couple of you have a good number of carriages in their fleets...
