What a place. One man's mission.

@ElyseExplosion 2 месяца назад

Oh wow, this is about 20 minutes away from me! The new owners have put a lot of work into this and it shows! After the creator passed, a lot of it fell into disrepair (I see you, Little Girl Gulch) and a lot of disrespectful guests threw trash into the displays. I haven't been back in a few years but I think it's definitely worth revisiting! Thanks for coming through the area, I hope you had a great time!

It’s awesome to see the hard work 😓 put into these model trains 😊

@gmg9010 2 месяца назад

You said miniature and trains in the same sentence and I’m Immediately hooked.

@lissachocolate 2 месяца назад

Amazing! Loved the creativity, imagination, and sense of humor used in the displays. The dolls were interesting too.

@stephaniehensley346 2 месяца назад

The detail that went into this is crazy. I also love that huge dollhouse. 5 year old me would have been obsessed.

@johnchambers8528 Месяц назад

Thanks for taking us along. I always wanted to visit this display. I have heard it is great to see. You can see the man who built it took care to make the many scenes. One thing I was surprised to see was how short the trains they were running. With all that trackage I would think thy would want to feature big long freight trains. It also was nice they had all those doll scenes that would help keep interest from families that come and only some that like trains that way it helps entertain other family members while the others can enjoy the trains.

Only the Carpet Bagger could, Engineer...such a video. TY, sir Jacob!

@islandofmisfittrains5114 2 месяца назад

Its always a good time at Northlandz. Glad to see you finally made it Jacob. We've been there several times. Everytime you go you notice something you missed the time before. Once you get into model railroading it becomes a fun addiction. We have 50 to 60 years of models ourselves.

Dude, this is _so_ cool!!! Thank you for always uploading some of the best content on RU-vid. To me, your channel is what RU-vid _should_ be. Cool people sharing cool stuff. You really take me back to the early days of RU-vid. Thanks again, buddy 🥰

@applevalleyhillbillygarden1093 2 месяца назад

Awesome ! I'm glad you finally made it here. I remember when this place was first open in 1997 and saw it on a morning talk show "Breakfast Time" on FX that featured a worm puppet as one of the hosts along with Tom Bergeron. This place is almost as cool as the Roadside America layout was. Long R.I.P. Roadside America. I'm so glad you and Adam got to document before it went away.

@DawnBenchley-gt6hu 2 месяца назад

My Dad would love this, Jacob. He was a railroad man and loved railroading

@Brandy76776 2 месяца назад

Another really cool miniature train museum is in Tucson, AZ. Super fun and interactive too.

@drewo6388 2 месяца назад

I absolutely love seeing model train villages. As a youth I always wanted to start one myself but I quickly realized how expensive the hobby gets. Same goes for the ceramic Christmas villages. I love them but it's a hobby that can quickly cost a lot of money. Thanks for taking us along with you, Jacob!

@josephw.manissr.6934 2 месяца назад

I loved this video. All of them are good but this one was just grand because of the trains.

@lisabaca6793 2 месяца назад

Love seeing trains 🚂 it reminds me of my Dad he was an engineer for Santa Fe until he retired. He then went on to be a engineer for Union Pacific.. i use to go to work all the time with him and ride the trains growing up miss those times with him. I also use to have a lot of the porcelain dolls but unfortunately they got stolen. I use to also love the Smurfs i had a collection of them as well I even had a Smurf record.

@pappy4075 2 месяца назад

Yeeeeessssss!!!!!!! Thanks for posting this. I'm currently living in a mission piecing my life back together after some tough times. I love model trains and miss them greatly. It's creators like you that keep me going. I hope to visit there one day.

@elf5012 2 месяца назад

Oh boy! What a spectacular place. This was entertaining and how in the world that fellow built all of the clever scenes and tracks is mind boggling.

@docnecrotic 2 месяца назад

You were basically down the highway from me, that's crazy! There are plenty of weird and cool places across NJ and I'm glad you're covering more of them! By the way, there are some fun Halloween Haunts in New Jersey! Quite a few of them aren't far from Flemington either.

@DEE-o4v Месяц назад

I"ve seen a NOT of layouts in the US....but nothing to the level of this one. It's a bit weak on animation...but MORE THAN MAKES up for it in VASTNESS and absolute incredible landscape MODELING. Perhaps the finest, I"ve EVER seen. Amazing! If you do like lots of animation, check out the town of Strasburg, PA as there are MULTIPLE railroad exhibits to see including an incredible model layout in the town (I forget the name of the model layout).

@moonbeammama22 2 месяца назад

LOVE MODEL RAILROAD LAYOUTS. THANKS JACOB. HOPEFULLY NEXT FAIR YOU GET MORE INTO THE BEEF COW BARN. LOVE THE HEREFORDS. STILL LOVE GOING TO ALL THE FAIRS. YOU DO THE BEST SHOWING OF ALL.

@mikehughes4969 2 месяца назад

That place is amazing. I have always been fascinated by miniatures ever since I was a kid, and I always wanted to build my own miniature town. No idea why, I'm just weird that way. When I was seven years old, I made a map of it that took up the entire dining room table. I remember being very put out when I had to move it for Thanksgiving and Christmas, but it did give me an excuse to move things around. Also, I have no idea who the other blonde doll was, but I'm positive the one in black was Mae West.

@stevensanfilippo6338 2 месяца назад

Glad to see you make it just down the road from my house in Branchburg while I was at work! I went there once before they have the current owners and it’s an amazing display.

@CORNSiLK 2 месяца назад

That's right near me, though I've never been in. I guess I need to plan a visit!

@rodc2678 2 месяца назад

The stress on the motors of these toy trains running all day long means they need replacing evey few months and sometimes weeks. The amount if maintainace and cost needed on these trains and displays to keep then running can be very easily underestimated.

@richardhogenson594 2 месяца назад

Imagine how long it took to built and connecting the tracks.

@jennifersherman7945 2 месяца назад

I was reading that Miniatur Wunderland is the largest with 9.9 miles of track and Northland is second in size. Still a decent enough layout and looks really fun to visit.

Good Morning " YA ALL " Jacob the Carpetbagger..!!

@erikgriffith8857 2 месяца назад

The doll on the far left is Mae West.

@ameyring 2 месяца назад

They should expand the Star Wars hallway and brand this as the Northlandz Train and Toy Museum!

@MattTheLizard 2 месяца назад

Jacob... great video. I need to go here.😊

@Benjamin-Slender 2 месяца назад

I don’t know how there can be two world records for the largest miniature railroad museum but in Germany / Hamburg is the Miniatur Wunderland that has the same title but maybe newer I guess?

@Krayt01 2 месяца назад

There could be several records at the same time. It depends on how you define "biggest". I think the one in Germany is the biggest in terms of tracks. All in all, they have the longest railway line. I guess Northlandz seems to have got the record because they have the biggest facility in terms of area.

@elsiegon7118 2 месяца назад

Hey Jacob ! Are you going to New York State fair? I wanted to go myself, we would’ve loved to met u in person ❤ my family and I are very big fans of yours! Your videos always make my day❤❤

@amyreynolds3619 2 месяца назад

@RikFTK 2 месяца назад

Just read that it was sold when the owner retired and was almost destroyed because the new owner just needed a warehouse. But he was so impressed by the work and details he decided to renovate and reopen it in 2019.

@retrorewindllc9363 2 месяца назад

U didn't catch the Beetlejuice house in the spook town part did ya?! Really cool place, imagine all the time put into all that. I had a Smurf plastic drum set when was a kid. I do retro collectibles now n had one of this pee wee herman dolls but sold it. Was a pull string too.

@dirtywaterpj_dj 2 месяца назад

It’s odd how we all live that huge miniature railway but put up with massive freeways and driving everywhere.

@dukemexplorer481 2 месяца назад

One doll is Mae West who has movies with W.C Fields she wore this outfit in Klondike Annie and the boa in Every days a Holiday ..the quote I remember from her is "come over to see me sometime" I think anyway. The other I think is Jane Mansfield but this I'm not sure on

@greenbeanscrafterole 2 месяца назад

Sad news. The John Brown Wax Museum recently closed. 😢

@SteveInScotland 2 месяца назад

I think they meant the hogwarts train rather than the mess of tracks as nowhere in Scotland looks like that, trust me I live here. Lol

@zig_zagman 2 месяца назад

If I remember correctly, this tour involves over a mile of walking... When I went like 20 years ago they were just building the outside train ride.

@mikebell2112 2 месяца назад

Speaking of the Santa Fe. Do you know why there are no baby trains? The Santa Fe always pulls out in time. (All credit to Charro on David Letterman years ago.) 16:30 22:44
