Northlandz set the record on opening day Dec. of 1997. It since has ONLY be surpassed by Miniatur Wunderland in Germany. SO, if you want to see North Americas Largest Model Rail Road, head on over to Flemmington NJ for a once in a life time exhibit!
Northlands is awesome, i haven't been their in years. 1 problem tho is that the trains on the model railroad doesn't hav steam engines. even if they do, they are broken. Other then that it's pretty cool.
Anybody in New Jersey know of a reputable place to get model trains restored? I found my dad's old Lionel train set from when he was a kid. The trains is from the 1950's and it has all the origianl parts including the tracks. After going to Northlandz, I thought about getting the train cleaned up and running again for my dad. Some of the cars need work on them. Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
I believe even Rod Stewart visited Northlandz. He's a huge HO scale modeler enthusiast. Can't seem to find out if he has a layout of his own or not. Anyway, if anyone knows where I can isolate specifically city/urban layouts on You-Tube or wherever I'd appreciate the input. My layout is an Urban Blight motif- highlighting my rather gross childhood in NYC. Looking for ideas now that i'm starting fresh in a new state and new layout.
I brought my dad here. We also live in Md, Waldorf, of the southern end. He LOVED it. And it was totally worth it for me to bring him there. Love you dad. Miss you. (say what you want, bitch, complain, whatever. I don't give a F. He loved trains, so i said my piece..lol)
Northlandz was officially the largest until 2019. That is when they were officially surpassed in the Guinness Book of Records by the equally cool place in Germany.
Don't believe me? Type this into your youtube search; Miniatur Wunderland *** official corporate video *** largest model railway / railroad in the world
Northlandz is the largest privately owned model. Miniatur is a corporate exhibit. Both are record holders in different categories.
My son loves this place, been here 3 times. Great video

Rod Stewart does have a large HO layout. It has been featured twice in Model Railroader magazine

THEY claim (well, claimed) to be the largest in the world. Not me. Apparently they WERE the largest in the world at one point. Take it up with them.

Not the biggest in the world. What liars! Also not nearly the most detailed either! Bah, one star.
They were. The place is Germany did not surpass them under the Guinness World Record standard until their addition in 2019.
