Deepwoods Software started back in 1993 as the part-time side business of Robert Heller, who was working at the Computer Vision Research Laboratory three days a week. Robert likes to write programs and wanted to do something other than just work for someone else at a 9-to-5, 40-hour-a-week sort of job for the rest of his life (how boring, yawn...|), so Robert has been writing programs in his computer shed, some for himself (several of which are available for sale or as free downloads as Deepwoods Software's products) and some for other people (have to pay the bills somehow).

In the early 1990s, Alan, the owner, had an HO-scale Model Railroad layout. He wanted buildings that were unique and reminiscent of local Victorian architecture. So, he began visiting structures he wanted to duplicate. Alan took photos and created scale drawings of each structure. Today, the company produces scale copies of his original drawings in easy-to-build kits. Our O scale kits are also compatible with Holiday Village hobbyists.

It all began around 35 years ago when Mr. Bruce William's first home was being built in 1972. During the construction work, there were many things that were left there by builders overnight. Mr. Bruce started erecting scenes in his basement with mud, sand and other types of materials. Workers returning the next morning would remove these miniature structures to continue their work, however, they became great admirers of his talent. With appreciation, they encouraged Mr. Bruce to continue his work and make a separate space for it. This resulted in a fourth addition to the basement of his Flemington area home. Impressed by the work, his friends persuaded him to host an annual train show for a local charity. This was a great success that soon led to open exhibits for the general public at the weekends. This later resulted in the world`s largest railroad miniature wonderland.

The coverage of national as well as international T.V channels including German, Swedish, and Japan, contributed to its growing popularity. Thus was born the idea for a year-round attraction. Today Northlandz is a 16-acre world-class attraction along with the art, music and doll displays. Doll museum, La Peep Doll House, a 2,000 pipe theatre pipe organ (which Bruce played) and art galleries throughout. There is also an 1890's replica narrow gauge steam train for the ride.

The building is reflective of the couple's lifelong commitment to art, expression, and creativity. Over the years, Northlandz has become one of the favorite destinations for people of all ages. Not only does it offer something unique for local tourists, but people from around the world also like to visit the place when they come to New Jersey.

Robert (Bob) Frascella, the owner, has been working exclusively in soft pastels since 1997 focusing mainly on scenes that depict the glory years of American Railroading. Bob is self-taught and has not had any formal art instruction. His painting of "Old No. 8" was featured on the July/August 2004 cover of The Narrow Gauge and Shortline Gazette, a nationally circulated railroad theme periodical. His painting "Wildwood P-RSL Perfection" appeared on the cover of the Summer 2013 edition of The Keystone, the official publication of the Pennsylvania Railroad Technical and Historical Society. Bob accepts commissions and offers his current works for sale. In addition to originals, he also offers Giclee prints of his work on high-quality, heavy-weight paper suitable for framing.  All of his works are produced upon professional and museum-grade acid-free papers and are considered archival. Bob draws much of his inspiration from the noted railroad artist, Howard Fogg.  Howard's objective was to make the railroad fit the scene without overpowering it.  Bob subscribes to the same philosophy and believes that the scene should also tell a story.
