Northlandz

Arts & Culture
Northlandz is a model railroad museum in Flemington, New Jersey, created by Bruce Williams Zaccagnino around an immense small-scale railway that grew from layouts first built in his Three Bridges basement. Moved to its present site in 1991 and expanded through the 1990s, it became known for more than 50,000 feet of track and received a Guinness World Record in 1997 for the longest small-scale model railway track, later surpassed in 2005. Distinctive for emphasizing height as well as spread, it features more than 100 trains, constructed landscapes, and an outdoor functional railroad. After nearly facing demolition, it was preserved by new owner Tariq Sohail and reopened in October 2019.
