PHOTO: LUISA GIRAOAn Invercargill man's attempt to break a world record for the world’s tallest train tower made of toy blocks has literally fallen to pieces. This morning Mr Evan’s wife, Donella Evans, said the tower collapsed while nearing completion. To gain the record, Mr Evans said he would need members of the public who used measures professionally — builders or architects — to fill a form saying they witnessed the record attempt. When asked why took her so long to make the step, Mr Evans joked, "It was when the kids left the home."
