Please note that the train wheel holders and the train motor side decorations/ornaments are not available in dark bluish grey from Lego. I've tried to describe some of the changes and the parts needed, but a little bit of your creativity is still required. I would like to point out that for the installation of the bogies some changes have to be made to the train, some of which I can not describe in more detail, because I no longer own the original Stud.io file due to a hard disk crash. The building instructions for the Jacobs bogies as shown in my YouTube video have been added. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. If you want to build the set, please use the provided parts list for the Brick order. This makes it much easier to make further necessary adjustments. I have also decided to divide the building instructions into individual steps. In version 2.0 of 28th March 2021, all stability issues should be resolved. I had to change a few parts and their arrangement. The overhead line instruction is not included.Īfter i built the train set myself the last few days, I noticed that the first construction instruction has few minor stability problems. However, they do not apply to the entire design, such as the "Non-Smoker" sign or the "Dining Car" sign. I've also designed some custom stickers that aren't available. Some stickers also have to be cut to fit the building blocks. If you want to recreate this train and achieve the same look, you definitely need the sticker set 5 times. I also tried to overbuild most of the visible studs. That's why I decided to extend all cars, design an end car and various other cars and add some details to make this train much better. It is actually a nice train, but the individual cars are overall too short and there is no end car. It was a one-off journey which was organised to aid a Belgian cancer research charity.This is a modification of the 2018 Lego passenger train set. The earlier record of the longest passenger train was set in 1991 in Belgium by the National Belgian Railway Company. Not only did we have a wonderful railway festival here in Bergün, but we were able to present ourselves around the world as a fascinating and innovative mountain railway.” In a statement, Renato Fasciati, the Railway Director said: “After intensive preparation, we are overjoyed to have achieved this world record.

Writing about it, Ben Jones of CNN said: “Combine this with a route with notoriously tight curves, steep gradients, 22 tunnels and 48 bridges over deep valleys and the challenges become obvious.” Running for an hour it went through some of the remarkable passes of the Swiss Alps. The train travelled smoothly through the Albula line which in 2008 was declared as a protected site by the UNESCO World Heritage. There were 25 electric trains connecting each other forming this long locomotive while each of them had four carriages making the total of the carriages as 100. With 100 passenger coaches, this is the world’s longest passenger train /gsQorNjtz8 It also showcased the country’s impressive engineering feats. The occasion was the 175th anniversary of the Rhaetian Railway company – the first railway of Switzerland – which celebrated this occasion in style by setting this record. The 1.93-kilometre-long train as per a report in set the record for the world’s longest passenger train.
