Model Railroad With 30,000 feet Of Track?

February 20, 2006

Flemington in New Jersey is home to “Northlanz”, which has 8 actual miles of HO track and 100+ model trains running at one time. 25 years went into sculpting 35 foot mountains and building 40 foot bridges. It features thousands of handmade buildings and over 10,000 freight cars. Incredible!

Another model railroading place worth a visit is the Pasadena Sierra Pacific Club, located in Pasadena, CA, which operates the Sierra Pacific Lines. This is one of the largest HO Scale operating model railroads in the world covering almost 5000 square feet. The model railroad has over 30,000 feet of hand laid steel rail. The 1700 foot single to quad track mainline with ten cabs allows for operating of up to ten 30 foot trains (up to 60 cars long). Yard panels throughout the model railroad allow for operation of another 15 to 20 model trains. Worth a visit!
