The interview with Vic Smith was probably the best model rail related interview I have watched/read! What an amazing layout or model he has. Good to hear Vic's story on how he got into the hobby, not being a die hard train enthusiast and just wanting to make models which is how I got into rail modelling. Thank you. All the best Anthony.
I must say Vic Smith's layout is a true example of small scale realism. The level of detail and quality of this masterpiece is remarkable! A layout where the focus is the landscape and the trains are like backround players is as close to 1:1 as you can get. Mr. Smith, kudos to you. Fantastic!!
Wow thank you for sharing Vic's layout. Just speechless from the video, can't even image seeing that in person. Talk about a "Master Modeler". I think all of us have asperations of having such a layout...Vic surely has set the bar of city scenes to aspire to in building a railroad.
Wow!!...and Thank you Mojave on that!!!....if you ever "imagine" yourself in St. Louis, let me know and check out the bar scene(s) on the City Edge!!....(:
Let's start off with Mr. Vic Smith! The "City's Edge" layout is "Railroad Art" He didn't miss a trick about anything on the layout! Outstanding job..Vic! I love the segment about the scenic grass by Jason! Just awesome! I love those new Amtrak Chargers by Bachmann! Just an outstanding job! This is "The World's Greatest Hobby" Till Next Time! MoPac Jack I would love to see more girls/women in our greatest hobby we share! I'm running trains with my granddaughter Emily in grandpas Train Cave! Rock N' Roll Forever! Be Safe! Model Railroading Is Fun!
I really enjoyed the interview with Vic Smith. I've always been in awe of the City Edge layout. The buildings, the details and the grime are just out of this world! A real inspiration to anyone wanting to create a city scene. I'd love to know more about his custom bay window facade and his method for creating it. Thank you
Oh yeah, Vic Roseman was a big inspiration for photogenic model railroad dioramas back in the 80s. The moss mat idea is great. I’ll have to keep an eye out for these.
Another wonderfully informative episode. Vic is an artist in every sense of the word. I will definitely be using some moss mating when it comes time to scenic my layout which is undergoing a major renovation after 20 years.
Hello my brother from another mother i feel like a little kid waiting for another episode of what's neat every month and you never disappoint me i love every episode and i also enjoy you weekly episodes of what's neat this week every week you do a great job thank you again.
Ken, thank you once again for another great segment! Vic Smith’s model is truly amazing, you don’t see that type of detailing to often, you’ve found a prize winner, in my opinion. Love the trick with the roll of moss, I’m gonna use it on my add on/extension but just wondering what it will look like in N scale or do you know if he’s ever used it for an N scale diorama? Thanks again for the video. Ron
What an incredible layout! And what about all the details on it (as the Beatles crossing the street - Abbey Road street?). Just fantastic ambiances as well, such as the thunder. Love it 👍👏
Thanks Christian, yes, the Beatles crossing get a lot of attention with visitors, Thunder and Lightning adds a cool nite time special effect...it's on a timer and you should see some of the faces on ppl when it first goes off.
Thanks for answering Vic. I really appreciate your layout as a french american railroad modelling fan. Very inspiring. My own layout (a french industrial one) is far far smaller and less detailed than yours, but I try to do my best.
Vic Smith is a genius at model building and presentation. What a great layout! On the moss matting - since it is biological, will it get moldy after a few years?
Hi what an awesome UA-cam channel it is the best one out there hands down the best. I have just gotten started in the hobby and starting to build a 3 kit diorama - The Railroad Truck Camp by Brett Gallant of SierraWest. I am and have been on the search for good quality figures and vehicles in the O Scale which is what I have chosen to work in. I have found Bachman and Woodland Scenics but as I look at these videos I ask myself where did these individuals find the figures that they have in their layouts. Not sure if you can help me but if you can please do as in my perspective it is the vehicles and the figures that tie the diorama together. Blessings Pastor Randy Bourque Calgary, Alberta Canada
Hey pastor randy! i've been following Pastor Artur Pawlowski, the Pastor after God's own heart! I suppose you've heard of the canaNazi's several arrests of Pastor Artur, the most persecuted man since Donald J. Trump? Praying for the truckers soon return, to HONK the nazi FJT regime out of Canada and back to cuba!
Why can you not watch 15 minutes at a time? come back and watch the next 15 minutes and come back later and watch the last 15 minutes? Do you need to be spoon feed and have you bum wiped too...?
Think this message was just a joke to get a rise but here goes... This episode was far from boring! You don't have to watch, I am sure ken won't mind. As the other person says watch bits at a time. Sorry to keep you from that very busy life of yours.

Outstanding interview, thanks.
Victory Smith 's layout reminds me of Rod Stewart's layout which is set in New York in the 40's.
....Thank you Mike!....such a compliment to have the City Edge referred in the same sentence with Rod Stewart's Masterpiece!!.
Thanks Ken & Team for bringing it all together. Always fun to watch. Cheers from Dubai.

@@christiannavello1277 ...back at ya Christian!...industrial switching areas are great to model...lots of detail!, I'm sure you'll do fine.
Great episode Ken!
Fantastic Segment. What is the manufacturer name of the moss mat? Thanks for the show.
Well done sir..........!
Fantastic 😍😃
Vic Smith is a genius at model building and presentation. What a great layout! On the moss matting - since it is biological, will it get moldy after a few years?
I didn’t catch how much those three brass bridges cost. Wasn’t stated enough I guess.
What is the name brand of that Moss mat that was used
High Five, Ken!

Too long, I have a Life, why can't you break it up into 3 - 15 minute segments so it's not boring either.
Why can you not watch 15 minutes at a time? come back and watch the next 15 minutes and come back later and watch the last 15 minutes? Do you need to be spoon feed and have you bum wiped too...?
