Here's mine......short for most on here,but quite long for me

Gee, awhile back i hooked everything i owned together, i think i mightve broke double-digits too! Lol, i hate having a kids budget.

Ive got some stuff coming in the mail soon, assuming it all runs on my layout, i should have about a 16 car consist , pulled by a total of 8 locomotives Overkill? Nope, sir, these cars are filled with lead

For now heres a shot i took over the summer, not my longest consist, but the only train pics i have on the computer.

Heres Adirondack and Northern Ex-CP Rail 3018 and Ex- something 10 pulling a 4 car train through the gravel pit.

Wow, Mark, impressive!

The longest on record:

I don't think that will be broken any time soon, considering it was an actual 361 feet long.

My old layout didn't support particularly long trains, but I put everything I had into a train once which was about 40 or 50 cars and four engines I think. It couldn't be run because it was hanging off into yard tracks on both ends

I have no pics but I once tied everything I owned to my 0-6-0 and again to my GP35 diesel to see if they would pull , and that they did.
At the time I had 46 cars and that about made it around my {very} small loop of HO track without connecting to the loco again.

50+ car coal http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqBgNLUQQBQ
60+ car Freight http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IA28-zblCm8&feature=related


longest train I have ever helped with was 280 coal cars (40' cars)with 2 caboose pulled with 5 trainmasters (atlas)

we did this at the EMRRC club in April of this year. train was over 100' long. We did 1 or 2 full laps with no derails. IIRC 3 locos on the front and 2 helpers placed in the middle of the train.

I'll hopefully soon have 100+ rolling stock & then a total of 16 locos + my 200 ton crane......Wonder how that's gonna look coupled together?!

 

[ST214]

I've run 100+ car trains before.....Maybe i will video one today once i'm done the other things i'm going to do at the club.

 

[irocinblue89]

i regularly run 100 plus at our club and my BLI has the club record @ 165. Now that being said I did do a 238 car train with mid and end helpers. ( I love my 80macs) Mostly bethgons with some other cars mixxed in. After our open house at the club we will be setting up another 1 and video taping it. I think I read somewhere on here a member had 250 plus cars at his club.
