23 July 2010 [13:43] - Today.Az


At 10ft tall the train track is already attracting much interest from passengers since it was unveiled on Wednesday. The project was sponsored by Royal British Legion Industries, a charity that helps put ex-servicemen back in work, after they were approached by toy manufacturers Tomica.

The Japanese company is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary and it is now looking to break the UK market. The model railway will be exhibited at St Pancras until 7pm tonight. The display follows in a long tradition of record breaking at the station.

Ben Ruse, a spokesman for St Pancras Station, said: "St Pancras is a unique station and we try to do things that have never been done before. "We have the longest champagne bar in Europe, we have the record for the most people standing in their underpants and now we have the tallest toy train track. "We break records for fun."
