The dream of the Great American Railway at Northlandz began over 26 years ago as Williams’ first home was being built in 1972. As builders would leave for the day Mr. Williams would escape to the basement and begin erecting scenes for his new basement passion. Mountain passes were erected complete with bridges and buildings. Workers returning the next day, removed the new addition so they could continue their work. Bruce kept building the nightly exhibits. This was the beginning of a 26-year labor of love that has resulted in the world’s largest model railroad. As a developer, creator, and artist behind Northlandz, Bruce Williams Zaccagnino has added several new skills to a long list of accomplishments. A concert musician, successful entrepreneur, multi-award-winning and publisher (Perfect General, Solitaire’s Journey), Mr. Williams has spent a lifetime working at what he loves.
