I had the privilege of meeting Bruce back in the 90s. I was a writer for the late lamented Interactive Entertainment CD-ROM magazine, and we did a profile on his computer game company QQP. That was in the same building as Northlandz (although at that point he was calling it Great American Wonder, I think). Left an indelible impression. I love this profile, and I'm so glad to see that the facility has been reopened!
Thank you for sharing that wonderful memory! Meeting Bruce and experiencing his vision firsthand must have been incredible. We’re thrilled that you remember the early days of what is now Northlandz, and we’re glad to continue his legacy. It’s heartening to know that the facility and its history have left such a lasting impression. We look forward to welcoming you back to see how it has evolved!
Creative men like this, come around Once in a Lifetime! What a Genius.
God bless him
Thanks for your valuable feedback. Which exhibit of Northlandz you like the most?
just finished my tour and found this video afterwards, thank you for making this video! A beautiful love letter to a beautiful piece of art! I've been to small worlds in Japan...and although it might be technically impressive and newer, it doesn't have a single ounce of personality compared to this! especially watching this video afterwards you can tell this was a true gift to us, I once in a lifetime artist willing to sculpt an amazing living world for us to admire with a true childlike wonder!
Thank you!!!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words! At Northlandz, we’re honored that you found such deep meaning in our work. Bruce’s vision was always about creating a world filled with wonder, imagination, and artistry, and it’s incredibly rewarding to hear that it resonated with you. We’re glad you enjoyed your visit, and we appreciate the comparison to other exhibits around the world. Your appreciation fuels our passion to keep this magical world alive for everyone to experience.
The work Bruce W. Zaccagnino is just so Inspiring. Someone better start buying HO scale locomotives and Rolling stock to make the Trains longer. You know, Donations to Northlandz. Give them more locomotives and trains to run and operate.
Me personally, I would personally like to donate an HO scale EMD F45 diesel. Though as of now, I don’t have the money.
I want to model trains, but I never had the Time, Space, Money, or Resources to.
I plan to do it one day, plan to model trains.
Clearly, the gift God gave to Zaccagnino is Truly Incredible.
Thank you for your inspiring words and generous spirit! Bruce's work at Northlandz is indeed a testament to his incredible talent and dedication, and we're deeply touched by your desire to contribute to this legacy. Donations of HO-scale locomotives and rolling stock are always appreciated, as they help us continue to bring this amazing world to life for others to enjoy. We hope that one day you'll have the time, space, and resources to pursue your passion for model trains. The love and creativity you share with us are what keep the magic of Northlandz alive. Thank you for your kind thoughts and support!

The fact that it is share what you've done.❤@@Northlandz
I used to go every year. For one reason or another I haven't for a few years. I enjoyed seeing what he added since I'd been there. I would usually bring someone new just to see their reaction. I most enjoyed being greeted by him at the end of the tour at the gift shop. I thought I'd heard awhile back that he sold it. We were planning to go this year but the virus stoped that.
Yeah, he sold it in 2019. At least its' future is secure now.
@@johnny5805 my daughter ,her husband went this year. It needs a lot of work. They have changed things quite a bit and they are working hard. They need volunteers. I live too far.
Thank you for being a loyal visitor to Northlandz over the years! We’re glad to hear how much you enjoyed seeing the new additions and sharing the experience with others. Meeting Bruce at the gift shop was always a special part of the visit for many. While times have changed, and the virus has impacted many plans, we’re still here and looking forward to welcoming you back when you’re ready. Your continued support and fond memories mean the world to us!
Just amazing unreal the electric work alone had to have taken along time to do not saying the layout it'self is just unreal , you need to be put in the Ginneys World Book of Records My hat off to you Bruce your a Genius and you should be very very proud of your work and your wife is just smiling down on you of what a great man she married.
Thank you for your kind words and recognition of Bruce’s incredible work! The electrical intricacies and the detailed layout are indeed a testament to his dedication and genius. Being considered for the Guinness World Records is a true honor, and we’re thrilled that you see the brilliance in Bruce’s creation. Your heartfelt message about his late wife is touching, and we believe she would be immensely proud of his accomplishments. Thank you for visiting Northlandz and sharing in the admiration of this extraordinary project.
Me and my family went there one year, there was a box of ded broken engines with the northlandz signature on them.. he said the majority of them were broken and that if we wanted to take one we could have one, we took it home and it didn’t work… but god I still wish I had that locomotive.. one that ran on the Northlandz layouts
It was such a memory for me 23 yrs ago. It's a small wonder of our world ! Go see it soon before it's gone!

Went today. Still fantastic!
thanks
I wish I had enough to take my brother and my father to northlandz, it looks like a place of wonder.
Thank you for your heartfelt message. Northlandz truly is a place of wonder, and we hope that one day you’ll be able to share it with your brother and father. The magic of exploring our world of trains and landscapes is something special, and we’d love to be a part of your family’s memories. Until then, we’re here whenever you’re ready to visit!
Great layout, nice work and creative design !
The owner is also an amazing musician, playing the antique Theater Organs in the auditorium. I went there just before Christmas 10 years or so ago. He was playing the most beautiful Christmas classics.
Thank you for sharing that wonderful memory! Bruce’s talent extends beyond his incredible work at Northlandz-his music truly adds a special touch to the experience. The sound of those antique theater organs, especially with Christmas classics, creates a magical atmosphere. We’re glad you got to witness his musical talent firsthand, and we hope it added to the joy of your visit. Moments like these make Northlandz a unique and unforgettable place!
fantastic musician too
We've been many times
BRILLIANT WORKMANSHIP

I used to go to northlandz all the time when I was younger it’s been I think a decade Since I last went the memories it was so fun but I moved so it’s hard to go back
appreciated ,thanks
I met him the first time I went there. He let me run the large train outside. He's a sweet man.
I only can dream that I could have this
Wonderful
It's an impressive display for sure, but the one area of failure is the faux rocks/mountainsides. They don't look resemble the natural world at all. I'd like to see that improved over time.
Very nice guy.
I think so too!
I've been going since before he opened this building. He had a house with 4 basements where he built a similar, tho smaller , railroad.
I haven't been in a few years. I too had heard he sold out. Don't know back story, did he die or just get too old? Read new owner wanted to fix up and add to it but Bruce was an artist and had an internal vision. Hope new owner does well. Maybe I can get my daughter to go again , she was 12 last time she saw it. We'll take he husband with us.
likely just got too old to maintain it. The new owner has added a few things like working Cable Cars
He retired.
Does the Z in Northlnd(Z) stand for Z Scale?
The details are just amazing!
No it’s ho scale
@@andrewj.682
Thanks 👍🏻
@@andrewj.682 very crappy for HO, looks more like vomited t scale (1:400)
Been there, rode the train outside. If you haven’t been there you would not understand the grandness of it. The bridges are huge. You never see everything at the same time so it’s not like other large layouts that are basically in one room. You keep climbing to a higher level and the scene is completely different. You can not present it fairly in a video.
WOW very odd Crazy Obsession....to each there own i guess
