Northlandz used to be the largest model railroad in the world but has been overtaken in 2005 by Miniatur-Wunderland in Hamburg/Germany. see: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miniatur-Wunderland and http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modelleisenbahn —Preceding unsigned comment added by CSchoenberger (talk • contribs) 08:38, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Bruce Williams Zaccagnino → Northlandz –

The subject of the article is notable only for the museum. It is therefore more logical to make the article titled after the museum, not the builder.ypnypn (talk) 22:54, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Uncited material in need of citations

I am moving the following uncited material here until it can be properly supported with inline citations of reliable, secondary sources, per WP:V, WP:CS, WP:IRS, WP:PSTS, WP:BLP, WP:NOR, et al. Since there is a list of general references in the article, those that support the passages placed here should be cited if they are moved back to the article. I've added the missing publication info to all four of them and moved one of them to the Lead so that that section consists of at least one cited sentence. This diff shows where the moved material was in the article. Nightscream (talk) 15:50, 6 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

LEAD SECTION
[edit]

The museum also features over 200 dolls from around the world, a 94-room dollhouse and a 2,000-pipe organ. Northlandz boasts hundreds of bridges and trains. Most of the rolling stock is old, and the engines are mainly manufactured by Model Power. The museum also has a narrow gauge railroad, which operates with replica stock.

History
[edit]

Northlandz was created as Bruce Williams Zaccagnino and his wife Jean's first home was being built in 1972. When builders would leave for the day Williams would go to the basement to begin making scenes. Mountain passes were erected complete with bridges and buildings. Workers returning the next day removed Zaccagnino's new addition so that they could continue their work.^{[citation needed]}
The film was awarded a Vimeo Staff Pick on July 12, 2016 and was directed by Andrew Wilcox.^{[citation needed]}

Reading Rainbow

You might want to mention that William's model railroad was featured in PBS's Reading Rainbow, in the episode titled "A Three Hat Day." An episode synopsis can be found at the Reading Rainbow Fandom (https://reading-rainbow.fandom.com/wiki/A_Three_Hat_Day), and a full episode can be seen on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vw2JJMfa8lc).
