A New Zealand teenager has broken a Guinness World Record for the most carriages in a Lego toy train, beating the previous record by 32 carriages, after he was inspired by boredom during COVID-19 lockdowns.
It took 14-year-old Aucklander Alexander Blong about 50 hours to build the 25m-long 101-carriage train.
To qualify for the record attempt, the locomotive had to pull the weight of the trailing carriages along a 10m plastic track. It also had to be made with a specific type of Lego, be publicly displayed, captured in one single video and have witness statements from an independent judge.
