Thank you, Lisa! We at LA Live Steamers love your video. Well done!
@@dianamanchester2713 oh gosh… ☺️☺️ so happy to hear that, Diana ☺️🚂 Did I meet you when I bought my ticket - or have we not yet met?
That’s The Power Of Trains!
I went here years ago from South Carolina, while visiting L.A. we got to spend the entire day there!!
@@vettebecker1 That’s amazing! Love hearing that story ☺️
Trains ..best fun Around 👍🏻 great place wow All Abord 👍🏻😂😂😎👍🏻 video cool . Robin out .
☺️☺️🤗🤩
❤ Fabulous Lisa!
@@susankonczal9398 Thanks so much, Susan ☺️
Great tour, thanks for the video! It looks like a lot of fun.
Thanks so much for your nice comment, John. It was definitely a fun time.☺️
Never saw this. Love the hike on the Boy Scouts trail to the observatory and the train museum
I used to hike Beachwood Canyon a lot, and did that one trail that goes up the steep climb to the Observatory. Enjoy the Steamers of you wind up paying them a visit sometime : )
Now that was interesting! I knew there was a rail museum in Griffith Park (it's shown up in a lot of TV shows and movies when a railroad location was needed) but had no idea there was an active miniature railroad there. It sure seems to bring joy to an awful lot of people!
Thanks for bringing us along Lisa! Love your enthusiasm!
Thanks for watching, once again, Wayne, and for your warm words. And I bet you'd heard of www.griffithparktrainrides.com/ I have been planning on going there on a future episode, for sure. And I will definitely return to see my L.A. Steamers friends : )
@@LisaKEntertainment I've heard of the Travel Town railroad but the Griffith Park & Southern's a new one on me! Thanks for the heads-up! See, it's a wasted day if you don't learn something new!
You met a lot of great people. Railroading and model railroading is about history and human interaction. Another great video!!
I sure did! And thank you so much! And agreed.
Keep up the great work Lisa. I stumbled upon your channel and found your train videos and travels very entertaining.
So glad you discovered my channel 🤗 And thank you!
Sooo cool.
Very fun and love the touches of history, personal stories!
@@zoeedds6709 definitely a fun experience, for kids and adults alike!
Amazing work Lisa
Thank you so much. Hope you're doing well!
Thanks for sharing. That looks like a neat place to visit. There's some live steam here in North Carolina that I've been wanting to visit. I might have to go now!
Do tell where they're at!
That was a fun video, Lisa. You can meet fun people at any time when it comes to anything about trains. I'll have to check that place out. I hope to get out there next month. I want to go visit CAJON PASS. Love your enthusiasm along with your laugh and smile.
Thank you so much, Mark : ) And enjoy your trip to the area when you come!
I had ridden this once as a child but completely lost track that it was still there and operational. So interesting to find out that Mike from TS was a live steamer; I had no idea!🚂
Hi Ken, a star of my Train Shack episode : ) I know, right!?!?!?!? Wasn't that the most fun. Human connection / community building in action big time, through trains, from that Saturday meeting you at The Train Shack, and then the very next day seeing Michael once again. Such a fun surprise.
Excellent video, thank you for sharing!!! Looks like an excellent place to visit.
Oh, it is! Where do you live? Any Live Steamers in your neck of the woods?
@@LisaKEntertainment west Michigan. Yeah, actually about an hour north there is a group that has a large railroad. I don’t recall the name off the top of my head but it’s really nice. A few of my friends go up there.
@@SonicMonumentStudios52 I have relatives in Michigan. Very cool.
@@LisaKEntertainment where at in Michigan?
@@SonicMonumentStudios52 a half hour north of Detroit, and another couple spots in southern Michigan.
Thanks!
@@zoeedds6709 Thank you so much for your donation, Zoe! There is a special community being created here, and I really appreciate you helping grow it - and being a special part of it ☺️🤗🙏🏼
Hey Lisa! I have not been here, but have walked around "Train Town" a few years ago (where many movies and TV shows have been filmed). I was just at the Redwood Valley RR at Tilden Park, in the Berkeley hills here in Norcal. Beautiful trip through redwood trees. And of course, there's Roaring Camp RR near Santa Cruz, which has a big Shay (through even bigger Redwood trees!).
Thanks for the recommendation for Tilden Park. I lived in San Francisco for five years, before heading to L.A. but never experienced that train ride.
@@LisaKEntertainment Another vote for Tilden. It's a beautiful ride.
@@thomasbeutel7931 Appreciate your feedback. I put it on the calendar for December.
That was fun to watch, it was great that you had a chance to talk to the general public that we love to share the place we enjoy. The members put their heart and soul into the organization and the reward always the smiles from everybody who gets to enjoy it. Come back anytime. David.
@@lazman111 Thanks for your thoughtful comment, David - and for your cameo this episode, showing me the Pennsylvania you built!
@@LisaKEntertainment this was an excellent video! You have an open invitation to come back anytime. -Michael
@@1218611 Thanks, Michael!
Keep up the excellent work ❤it
@@WilliamAbrahams-ei2gj Will do! And thank you!!! This was a fun one ☺️
Never thought I see something like that in LA, really does look like a fun day out, great video
@@Sim0nTrains thanks again, so much! I love that kind of thing, showing people aspects of a person or place that go against the stereotype. It took 10 years of me living here before I even heard of this place. And I’ll be riding another 7 1/2 gauge train this Saturday! More to share soon…. 🤗🚂
Oh wow, i didn't know about this. Pretty cool, thanks for the info.
@@VochosGranja You’re welcome! I lived here for a decade before I found out about them. Have a great week!
You too 🤙
Hi 👋🏼👋🏼
Lisa!!!!
I really enjoyed the video and the way you take all of us along with you
I wanted to tell you that right next door to the Live steamers yard, at the Travel town museum we are a private model railroad club call EVL and we have a very large N scale train layout you are going to love it if you decide to come by one day…
Keep up the good work and videos coming…👍🏼
I'm so glad you mentioned that! I was thinking about going to the Pumpkin event in October... but sounds like a need a separate or longer visit perhaps, to see the layout and explore. Will you guys be open / available during the Fall pumpkin event?
Also, I just added a note about your club / layout on my list of recommended events / train related destinations at my webpage, www.LisaKEntertainment.com/youtube
@@LisaKEntertainment
Thanks for the mention
We are open for the public viewing in Saturdays and Sundays but we can have special guest anytime during the week
@@LisaKEntertainment
Hi Lisa
We can set up a visit sometime in the future we are open for the public on Saturdays and Sundays but we can have special guest anytime during the week
Hopefully you can come and visit soon👍🏼
@@eastvalleylines Feel free to email me at Bookings@LisaKEntertainment.com so I can reach out to you easily directly. I have a bunch on the calendar in the coming months, but would be great to get there and appreciate your flexibility with special guests during the week, too. Talk soon : )
Two other destinations; Balboa Park in San Diego has a dedicated building for RR clubs, like the La Mesa Club. And in Vista, CA is the tractor & Steam Engine museum, and they have a club layout of Donner Pass that's pretty cool. In San Pedro, by the Korean Bell, there is the Belmont Shore Club layout. and, Pasadena has a big club layout. In Bakersfield, gottacsee the Gehams club layout, which is a converted department store.
Thank you for all of these great locations! My dad has a new customer who is a member of the club in Balboa Park... so been thinking I needed to pay a visit sometime. Balboa Park is beautiful, and I haven't been in forever. I will make note of all of those other clubs, too!
@@LisaKEntertainment Balboa: don't leave anything in your car.
@@chipset2900 Thanks for the tip!
Looks like a nice place , in scary Los Angeles!
Have you ever been to Los Angeles? I suppose I don't spend a lot of time in Los Angeles proper (post, my years living there), but the greater L.A. area has so much beauty and whatever you're into... and Griffith Park is a blessing in its city surroundings. Have a lovely day : )
Lisa, you need to plan a trip to Train Mountain, in Chilicothe, OR. Specifically for their Triennial meet.
Doesn't look like it's a thing anymore... but if you find a link, please add it here : )
Great video Lisa. Enjoyed that very much. Did you get to visit Cleveland during 4th of July? Enjoy the rest of your summer. 👊🏼😎
Not really, unfortunately. I flew into Cleveland and was in Chagrin Falls for a quick two nights... but I did make a visit to an old family (train) friend, as well. I could have talked to him for way more hours, and look forward to having him show me more / another visit next year. You'll meet him on here before long : )
@@LisaKEntertainment 😎👍🏼
What Got me Into Trains went down To The Depot and Watching the Trains Run past After That Dad Brought home a Ho Layout After that I was Hooked On Trains And As If Now I Am Happy To Be Into Trains And Now My wife Is Into Trains And I’m happy.
Which depot was it? Have you ever been to the National Model Railroad Association's annual convention?
Another winner, Lisa.
I like how the train ride made it seem like you were part of the model layout. Your joy and enthusiasm are infectious. 😂
@@derrickboonesr9546 Thank you so much for being one of the first to watch / comment 🤗
The L.A Steamers sounds like the name of a bar band
@@harrisonallen651 😂🎶
I remember seeing the steamers back in the 1970s right next to Traveltown.
Not sure of the truth, but the merry-go-round on other side of park is said to be part of Walts inspiration to build Disneyland.
The red barn on property of the steamers is rumored to be from Walts Carroll Street home where he parked his steamers.
L9ts of history there......
@@vincebreen3-55 yes, that is what I heard about the red barn, on my visit. I look forward to seeing inside that barn before long, and will share it here.🎬🤗
@@vincebreen3-55 Also, where exactly is the merry-go-round?
@@LisaKEntertainment the Merry-go-round is off of Crystal Springs rd and Fire Road south of the LA zoo
They used to have a train ride there as well.
