Constructed using 1,285 kg of the finest Belgian chocolate and packing an impressive 6.5million calories, the intricately detailed model was created by master chocolatier Andrew Farrugia from Malta. The model has entered the 'Guinness Book of Records' for the longest structure to be made entirely out of chocolate. 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 realisation 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. It took Andrew Farrugia, a pastry chef and a chocolate artist living in the Mediterranean island nation of Malta, 784 painstaking hours to build the train. The model has two parts. The first seven wagons are modelled after the new Belgian trains, and the rest of the train is modelled 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. <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-9sNssTOGsls/UK-6tf9d7bI/AAAAAAAAgyI/ZHac3IVISk0/chocolate-train-0%25255B6%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-EEfgk38Cmkw/UK-68LKkN3I/AAAAAAAAgyY/5lPU5QWFsOs/chocolate-train-1%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-aiPgoYbLxyc/UK-6_R_LcLI/AAAAAAAAgyg/--VUSuAmTQ8/chocolate-train-2%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-O4X_cmZnQnc/UK-7Br2dUJI/AAAAAAAAgyo/FkPH2FVxex8/chocolate-train-3%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-JH_uKuhCgo4/UK-7ERFtvjI/AAAAAAAAgyw/IKjzuDg0rCI/chocolate-train-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/-aB8qFVJswoo/UK-7G5CtMGI/AAAAAAAAgy4/OR8yz_ZKBV4/chocolate-train-5%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-OmhKrvweQGU/UK-7JUc1tYI/AAAAAAAAgzA/OPSZcLMQKKE/chocolate-train-6%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-LOgDRn7ue5g/UK-7L_nsQyI/AAAAAAAAgzI/XI2KVbxed3k/chocolate-train-7%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-0Z_FtycisYk/UK-7OnBvu2I/AAAAAAAAgzQ/W3Xojwh79SM/chocolate-train-9%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> A TASTE OF GREATNESS: CHOCOLATE RECORD BREAKERS<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">he longest chocolate bar measured 15.9 metres long and 2.03 metres wide and was created by Italians Mirco Della Vecchia, Renato Zoia and Giuseppe Sartori) during the Cioccoshow fair, in Bologna, Italy, on 16 November 2011 </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The tallest chocolate structure is a 10-metre-tall chocolate Christmas tree created by Frenchman Patrick Roger in the town of Sceaux on 1 December 2010 </li> </ul> <ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The world's most valuable chocolate is a 100-year old Cadbury's bar which went on Captain Robert Scott's Expedition to the Antarctic between 1901 and 1904.
