One of the Worlds Largest Model Railroads – Northlandz

Some consider Northlandz one of the world’s largest model railroads. Others see it as a “toy” railroad and not counting as one of the largest. The most interesting part of this layout is the eight miles of model railroad track that it contains and that it was developed by a single person named Bruce Williams Zaccagnino.

He started this huge construction just out of hobby but for his mythical dedication and hard labor of 16 years it becomes the largest model train track of the world. Here are some photos of this giant rail track along with some stats.
