Auckland teen wins world record for toy train

The Guiness World Records has verified that Auckland teenager Alex Blong holds the new record for building the most carriages on a toy train that moves. Three months ago, Blong sent his 25-metre train - comprising six electric engines and 101 carriages - down a 10-metre track at Britomart Station. It's taken that long for the record to be ratified but the 14-year-old got the good news in the mail yesterday. Blong spoke to Guyon Espiner.
