Visit to Northlandz in January of 2010. An astonishingly large HO model railroad layout, recommended for train enthusiasts. It occupies a building the size of a large 3-story warehouse.

 

Pros:

+ Quirky - some of the scenes are pretty amusing

+ Detailed - lots of fine work. You can spend a long time in one place, just looking at the subtleties

+ Huge - Very extensive dioramas

+ No that does not quite do it, how about "Gargantuan?"

+ No, still not right. I think this: "You're lying. It cant be that big." - No, it is. Jaw-dropping. That link shows only part of one of maybe a dozen rooms. Plan on 90 minutes if you jog through, three hours if you take your time and enjoy it.

+ Organ music - The builder and owner, Bruce Zaccagnino, is a skilled organist and plays for visitors (I think every day) in a little theater in the middle of the building.

 

Cons:

- Dust - Lots of it. I'm sure it's a nightmare to clean, but it needs it. At HO scale, it's up to the inhabitants' ankles.

- Disrepair - Plaster landscape cracking in places. Little figures fallen over. Not too often, but enough to jar you from your reverie.

- Few trains! - When we visited most rooms were largely silent; I guess it made the trains more exciting when they did come through, but they did so rarely, and often only a handful of cars.

- Somewhat inflexible - you have one shot at moving through, then you need to buy another ticket if you want to revisit a scene. Not a big deal... except there's only one bathroom inside at the halfway point. Remember, it's HUGE. Know your kids' tolerances if you go.

 

All in all if you like railroads (or have kids that do) you should probably see it at least once.

The signature feature of Mansion Rowe is the large houses on the hillsides. Here you can see up to six trains running through this scene. Look for kids playing baseball, a daredevil pilot flying overhead, and a diesel switcher that you can run back and forth, and hopefully, you'll take a look at this area at the end of your visit!

Ralph’s Wrecking Yard is where most of the worn-out engines and cars used on the Northlandz Railway end up. Look carefully, and you’ll see some of the local (and not so local) wildlife taking up residence here.

Visit Northlandz to see the lighthouse, which is in the middle of the bay, working hard to make sure any ships in the area don’t run into the rocky knoll.

The Little Gurly Gulch was named after an unfortunate incident that occurred shortly after Northlandz opened. A young lady crawled into the layout and damaged the multi-bridge scene. Most of the repairs have been made.

The World's Largest Miniature Wonderland is the perfect place for families to enjoy a day together. With 16 acres of themed attractions, there's something for everyone to enjoy. From indoor miniature model trains to Outdoor train ride, there's something for everyone at the miniature wonderland.

In 2009, we visited the Northlandz and really had a good time. The size of the models / terrain was very impressive. The size of the building in general is impressive, with 2+ miles of walking from beginning to end. The Doll Museum was a smaller section of the building, and was nice as well. We can not wait to go back this year.
