Cab Ride on the City Edge Layout

[@anemone819]

this is the perfect layout I've ever seen！

[@lesigh1749]

This is incredibly detailed. I felt like I was in an episode of Kojak at the start, until I saw the A-Team van.

[@mikeberthold1593]

I have seen many, many train layouts on KZbin. But this is by far one of the best and the coolest layout I have ever seen👍👍👍!!!

[@bluecelox]

This is my latest video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWrVnZVrq7uEsNU

[@cambeck70]

Wow! Got to the the greatest layout I've ever seen. The attention to detail is magnificent!

[@howardrosenzweig8645]

The most realistic, detailed layout I've ever seen.I wonder if it's possible to have a layout where the cars (and maybe the people ) also move to make it even more realistic.

[@LongIslandCityLayout]

This is the best urban layout I've ever seen. There are a lot of good pictures on google images that really capture the detail he put into this. The level of realism is incredible, countless figures and vehicles of various eras so finely detailed.

[@Romin.777]

If i could only achieve 25% of the realism displayed here i would be happy. :) Truly a work of art.

[@MrLuvOldies]

Thanks. Great Layout. Wonderful job you've done. Soo Realistic,especially with your GoPro HD Camera Shots. Great City Buildings and Scenery. Fabulous Train,and Sounds. One of the Best Train Layouts that I have seen on KZbin.Mmmmmmmm

[@slashusr]

THE most realistic model train layout I have EVER seen! That includes the rolling stock, of course, but you have accomplished here what NO OTHER video of a layout has ever managed: YOU FOOLED ME! For a moment I honestly thought I had stumbled on a live feed! There are not enough superlatives in the English language to adequately describe what craftsmanship is encompassed here, and I stand in awe! This video is going straight into my favorites to be viewed over and over and over again. I'm going to switch from N scale to HO and see if I can come even 1/2 way near your level of realism. You, sir, are a genius!

[@aaronbrewer3318]

In my opinion, this is greatest layout ever built. I say that because given the opportunity, i'd be willing to travel the 2000 miles or whatever to go see it. Cant say that about any other.

[@dougthegreat1808]

WOW, I WATCH A LOT OF THESE MODEL TRAIN VIDEO'S AND THIS HAS BY FAR AND AWAY THE BEST WORKMANSHIP.

[@ThorMX_518]

One of my favorite layouts I've seen on youtube, thanks for the behind the scenes look

[@US_Joe]

The sound effects are the icing on the cake. I am astounded with a loss for words! Thanks for a great experience!

[@mcfoogie1535]

Fabulously realistic layout. Magnificent!

[@MrAdish23]

Bow to your Amazing creativity and work, the layout looks natural and is very entertaining to watch, Great video capture👌👌👏👈👍👍

[@thundertrump3716]

I think we can all agree this is the epitome of model railroading. What an ambitious layout :)

[@billconserva1461]

What a fanatic viewing angles and caboose ride

[@RailWayBandit]

The coolest HO Scale video I've ever seen.

[@dougthegreat1808]

The absolute best!!!!!!!!! Rivals something Hollywood would do.

[@parrot0051]

I've seen many model train layouts in the last 50 + years but this has got to rank up there with the best, plenty of layouts hat show cities do show most what is there in real life except for one major thing that's mostly left out and that is the human factor. I don't care how much detail is put into a city scene if you don't have the amount of people to inhabit that city then it looks like a ghost town, people in cars in and on the trains people on the streets doing what people do adds to any scene and this layout most certainly has all the elements of a busy active city.

[@robby062]

I saw this layout in MR years ago. Absolutely one of the best urban layouts I have ever seen!

[@bandman2404]

Best layout I've seen in a long time.

[@juanperes5579]

bandman Juan⛽

[@juanperes5579]

wdrh

[@cathybennett6158]

I appreciate the detail that went into this. The lattice steel on the elevated section looks as close to identical as you can get of the elevated trestle that runs along the St. Louis riverfront prior to its reconstruction.

[@johnhirtle4300]

One of my all-time favorite models. Just in awe. Love the real scale bar in the room! Seems like there should be a brownstone stoop to sit on and watch the procedings!

[@bhigdaddymark]

I'd LOVE to have those buildings on the other side of the elevated structure for my NYC inspired layout that we're just starting on. This for me is the supreme layout. I'd also would love to know where Vic got those street lights as they're closest to a city street light as you'd find in NYC. I haven't been able to find anything that close in resemblance yet as far as street lights go. STUNNING detail on this superb layout, and many thanks to Vic Smith for creating it, and Rex Smith for filming it. BRAVO to you both!

[@Tinsby]

Wonderful detail and amazing track work! Must be a lot of fun... and hours of work! Thank you!

[@KatoOnTheTrack1]

I’ve been watching this on an average of twice a month for like a year now 😍 really fell in love with this layout when I saw the MTA subway cars

[@jimcrawford5039]

Absolutely fabulous layout! Australia.

[@eligebrown8998]

Love the layout, the bar and you included the A-Team. You are a true American.

[@Anthony-tb5vg]

Beautiful and realistic layout. I noticed something about that lead Union Pacific locomotive. The white grab iron from the front step is disconnected and hanging from the platform of the locomotive.

[@MisterPersuasion]

That's the most incredible detail of a model railroad I've ever seen!

[@sludge4125]

Great! I especially liked your cars and trucks.

[@Superseanbarry]

I have never seen a better layout! City or country!!!

[@DavidWright-yn9bi]

Round and round! (Ratt playing in the background) Glad to see the A-Team hanging out at the Palace. Really cool layout!!!!

[@FlyingCrow]

Fantastic layout. This is the first layout I've seen where the roads and buildings didn't look pristine. Everything looks as if it is actually in use.

[@oldbaldfatman2766]

Amazing, simply amazing. And thank you for showing how it all started. Now I understand how/why people really get into railroad modeling layouts.

[@djkulp1]

My God ... you got a talent ... absolutely gorgeous.

[@ruatrainman2]

You truly are a master model railroader Vic, thanks for sharing.

[@wmellor87]

WoW! luv what the gopro does with that fabulous layout!!

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Very well done...... thanks for sharing

[@sonnypruitt6639]

At 0:16 that's my 1966 Dodge van, with a slant-6 engine and 3 speed on the column!

[@joeyoung19475]

you probably heard this many many time,...simply the best..thanks for the show....

[@kennethhoffman8845]

Now THIS is my kind of model railroad!

[@Lawrence5987]

What a spectacular layout.Magnificent!

[@killuminatidamu59crimefami62]

Damn!!!!! U did a hell of a good job so far your layout is the best I've seen love every detail you put on it

[@Boohpoop]

That is some beautiful modeling. I love your work!!

[@schleusenmeister]

Wicked awesome. The gritty urban scene even includes boarded up windows-even on Corleone Olive Oil Company! Nice "touches" with the amorous couple groping next door to Bukowski's Liquor, and the guy in the park fondling his lady's derriere. Anyway, cool train shots and action; an all-around awesome scene.

[@conrailbostonline6048]

Slightly impressive!!!!!!! Congratulations is all i have to say!

[@dannyflores1721]

fantastic train layout!!!!!

[@GatoFeliciano]

Amazing pictures, very cool! What a beautiful video! Congratulations ...

[@beyondDCC]

It reminds me of one of those Fixed Exhibition, Parade of Trains, View only, layout at Science Museums , etc. Great on Scenery and detail, but no working turnouts or actual different moving operations in any of the display areas.

[@warrenmaker798]

I want to move to this town... have you seen the alcohol supply they have in stock at the beginning... over on the right :)

[@mysticrailroad]

this thing is next level. very impressive.

[@ACLTony]

Hey, the A-Team is in town! No mistaking that black and red GMC Vandura van at 0:20. Looks like some bad guys are gonna get their "clocks cleaned out" today!

[@eligebrown8998]

Daing you beat me to it.

[@johnhirtle4300]

Pity the fool...

[@TeNBeeS7]

Waou💪🙏👍🏽👏😉 This must be the Perfect layout 🇺🇸

[@westtexasrailfan]

I want that layout!!!! Awesome video man!! Nice weathering, too!!

[@GYRUSS]

The attention to detail is astounding such as the metal shutters over the windows in the apartment house and the texture to the roads. How about running some classic F units such as a Burlington passenger train.

[@jamesbirt2676]

ABSOLUTELY, and I really mean INSANELY BEAUTIFUL! OUTSTANDING!

[@wvbygraceofgod5508]

Awesome layout!

[@drecool6976]

The details are amazing.

[@ZaidDesignsTV]

Great job on your cityscape, love the attention to detail all the way down to the A-Team van... lol

[@williswhatchutalkinbout4367]

Really cool! Minus the three or so 2000’s vehicles I saw. Not sure why you’d add those in this particular model. But great work!

[@bryanmccallum5729]

another beautiful video! excellent work, i am in awe of the level of detail. cheers bryan m

[@christophertaylor4394]

Love this layout.

[@bzilla20]

Amazing detail!!! Great job!! 👍🏻

[@ColAngus]

02:36 “Oh no, Father's playing with his trains again” :D

[@Chuckychoochootrainz]

i swear ITS AWESOMEEEEE I CANT STOP WATCHING THIS..its like a biiigggggg ruuuuussssshhhhhh

[@GregPalmer1000]

Excellent layout, Im drooling lol

[@kennethc.bishop7090]

I''ve looked at 103 comments to make sure it wasn't discussed before asking what is the blue and silver railcar at 13:40?

[@ThinkerOnTheBus]

Thank you for sharing footage of an incredible layout!!!

[@shariffwebb2990]

Awesome layout. What is the scale size of the cars n buses.

[@kennethc.bishop7090]

1:53 UP7529 I've never seen so many front lights on a loco. That took lots of skill and looks great!

[@MikeAndrews75]

What an awesome layout!!,

[@tble2438]

This is 100% my inspiration for my layout I am about to build. This is it! I just wish I could get a copy of the layout to work with. I suppose Vic doesn’t email these out by chance?

[@JuddKramer]

Saw this layout in an issue of Model Railroader. I think it was around 2004 or 2005. Like how you've developed it!

[@chris63418]

7 people don't like it why it's a really good layout

[@iandouglas451]

great shots

[@DennyDreadBassMan]

This video is sweet. You did a really nice job.

[@paulwilson1895]

Love This, Just Wondering Where You Got Some of the Buildings Thanks

[@christiangainey1223]

Walthers.com Go to "Layout" and then "Structures".

[@TheOldNeighborhood]

What a great layout. The detail is amazing. The camera work is perfect. I saw subway cars in the yard. Is there any subway activity on the layout? Thank you for sharing your work.

[@IMRROcom]

Funny part is I have seen the cars and Trucks before in the Mags. The Blue and primer Dodge is the give away most of the time... :)

[@gpholtz]

The perfect railroad model!!!!

[@timberlan1234]

I don't understand why somebody would give this a thumbs down I really don't

[@corypride]

why not?

[@johnny4aces410]

timberlan: Out of jealousy.

[@johnny4aces410]

Cory Dork: Because they can't appreciate just how much work has gone into this model RR. Some people, you know the type, are too dumb to realize that. Do you know what I mean?

[@douglasmccarty1196]

And just where is the cab ride, they are usually views from inside the cab looking forward

[@wmellor87]

11:21 A bar and TV just great to relax with a drink and Unstoppable

[@jonnybeck6723]

I luv the way the power/phone lines droop... How did you do it ?

[@jeffstrains4014]

Is there a video just explaining the layout design along with the room its sitting in?

[@joeycosta3938]

This is the BEST layout I've ever seen , buildings are excellent. ....I did an elevated subway not as good as yours but it works......Did you scratch build your buildings ? I have a city im building and my highest one is only 17" . I would like them 24" and higher.....Any suggestions?

[@Bernster3040]

There's got to be an apartment for rent somewhere in that city. When can I move in?

[@246spyder]

Wow, great ride, the most realistic i've see. wonderful cityscape. For me, the only thing missing would be a streetcar line, well nothings perfect, but this is close. A lot of hard work there, fer sur........

[@Ferrocarril_Chicago]

I've noticed all of your subways and El Trains. Would any of them happen to be CTA by chance?

[@cobra3050]

Sweet layout

[@davidrice2862]

Wow! How were all the buildings made?

[@bobr511]

Like many other comments, this is a beautifully crafted and detailed layout! Is it available for public viewing and if so, where is it located?

[@frankmeyer8359]

Verry realistic weathering

[@thejerseyj1636]

Interesting perspective. Very cool. Was that a bar at 3:40 ? If so, I'm ready for a cold one !!

[@CrazyBear65]

Great detail, loved all the older vehicles. Lotta scenery crammed into a tight space, but... Since you showed the floor plan, I have to ask: Why are the trains all over on one side? You could be utilizing that entire floor space for your layout. Who needs an 800' rec room with tables in it? Unless it's in a bar or some other business, I can't see any reason for wasting all that space that could all be filled with trains.

[@patrickturner2417]

0:18.....is that a C&P Telephone van?

[@northeastpanther6862]

This is a model railroad? I thought it was REAL until I noticed the people weren't moving!

[@lasalleman]

Pretty amazing.

[@j.sterling9167]

Call this model railroading & you will come up short of descriptive adjectives. This is 3 dimensional, ultra detailed reality of it's own time and place.

[@chegeny]

This is more like a miniature movie set than a mere "layout". 1:45 UP 7529 is my recurring road rage nightmare.
