The Chocolate Train In Brussels

Another Guinness World Record was set recently, with the longest Chocolate Structure in the world made entirely of chocolate. This was on display at the busy Brussels South Station, and it is of a train that measures 34 meters long and weighs around 1,250 kgs.

This is the World’s largest chocolate structure and was made by the Malta Artist – Andre Farrugia. He spent more than 700 hours constructing it, and he said that he had come up with the idea after vising the Belgian Chocolate festivals held in Bruges.

Famous chocolate companies such as Belcolade did donate several tones of chocolate for the project that featured two parts of the train. The first seven wagons were modeled after the Belgian trains, while the rest was after the old train wagons.

The sculpture weighs 2,755 pounds and measures 111.5 feet long. The extreme detail and precision of the sculpture attest to the exceptional talent of the artist.
