  • NOTE: See this layout in person at this year's 40th National Narrow Gauge Convention in St. Louis, Missouri from September 2-5, 2020. Victor Smith's City Edge layout will be on the tour for the home visits. This is a must see. Pictures doesn't capture the realism and exquisite detail that Vic put into the streets, buildings and weathering appearance.

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

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

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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.

    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.

      Yes, I gathered a bunch of my Engines - 300, Cars - 1500, switches - 250, layout 80 % completed, goes it 3 rooms, only can run 2 sets of trains, hidden tracks (11) can hold approximately 40 cars with 4 engines, plus many feet of scenery completed. I'm not blowing my own horn but it's to let people know how involved this hobby can be, and yes, very, very expensive.
