If we had something like that at the Chesterfield Fair it would melt.

Fantastic! I wonder how many Hershey bars he had to melt to make
the train. Ha!

Here's a layout we should consider building.

JUST RECEIVED THIS FROM A HIGH SCHOOL CLASSMATE.
I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT ENJOY THE PICTURES.
I GAINED 20 POUNDS JUST LOOKING AT THE PICTURES.
/A train made entirely of chocolate has set a new
Guinness World Record as the longest chocolate
structure in the//W//orld. /
The sculpture, on display at the busy Brussels South
station, is 112-feet (34.05 meters) long and weighs
over 2,755 pounds (1250 kilos). Maltese chocolate
artist Andrew Farrugia spent over 700 hours
constructing the masterpiece.
He said he came up with the idea of the train last
year after visiting the Belgian Chocolate Festival in
Bruge: "I had this idea for a while, and I said what
do you think if we do this realization of a long
chocolate train, you know, because a train, you can
make it as long as you like.
"Actually it was going to be much smaller than it was,
but I kept on adding another wagon, and another wagon,
and it's the size it is today."
Farrugia had previously built a smaller train of 12
feet for an event in Malta, which he said gave him
insight about how to build this much larger version.
There are two parts to the train. The first seven
wagons are modeled after the new Belgian trains, and
the rest of the train is modeled after the old train
wagons, including a wagon with a bar and restaurant on
board.
Three days before the event, Farrugia transported the
chocolate train by truck in 25 wooden boxes from Malta
to Belgium. Farrugia said the train incurred
considerable damage during the drive and several of
the train's walls had completely collapsed. Luckily,
with hard work and little sleep, the chocolate artist
was able to fix all the damages before presenting the
train to the public on Monday.
After measuring the length of the train and confirming
no material other than chocolate was used, officials
from the Guinness Book of World Records added a new
category to the collection of world records and
declared the train to be the longest chocolate
structure in the world.
