Lisa, Well Done! 👏🏼 It’s evident you and Mom put so much effort into this production. Such an important message that is being buried by the ‘algorithm’. 🙄 Stumbled onto your channel via the Train Shack video❣️
@@glennac thank you so much! Yes, it was a lot of work, creating this 18 minute short lol Appreciate you exploring my other entertainment on here, especially this - the first doc short I ever made back in 2007.
@@berteisenbraun7415 Very neat! That would be an interesting conversation! I’m actually meeting with a family friend now, who worked on the railroad for decades. Looking forward to it… and you’ll be able to see that soon, too 🤗
I lived in Flag back in middle 60s to 71 and never got into the station. I'll be making a trip through Flag in a week or 2 and I think we will be stopping now after sering your video.
Keep it up Lisa. Your channel is going to have a blossoming future. Wishing everyone in the USA a wonderful celebration. Happy United States of America Day to all!
I absolutely love you videos, your passion for your Dad, his business, his hobby, railroading and all the things you enjoy!! And you’re absolutely gorgeous!! Have fun out there and I’m looking forward to more of your videos!!
@@matthewkamradt8989 Aww, thank you so much, Matthew ☺️ And speaking of more, I started editing my visit with the L.A.Steamers yesterday - that will be up by Monday 🤗🎬🚂
You really need to head out to the Los Angeles Live Steamers track in Griffiths Park.. model trains that are big enough to ride on. They have a website.
And now I am motivated, at just before 10pm, to go back out to my train room, located in a building in the back yard which did not have a light in it until a few hours ago, to do more work of completing a rebuild of the campground scene on my American Flyer S gauge layout. Thank you for taking us to this train store.
Visited the Train Shack while visiting family in LA. Great train store with strong family history. I learned the original owner’s daughter is top engineer. (Hint)
@@raamosjr I met her 👍 And yes, figured that the fact that the son and daughter had taken over the store’s operations would only support any lingering ideas in my dad’s mind lol… which part of me thinks could be really special. He loves what he does, though, and wants to be there for his community. And I love what I do and don’t plan on living in my hometown full time again. But life can take unexpected turns, and certainly has in the past!
Thanks for taking us along. I like how you take us along to train related locations but also show some other activities you like. If you ever make it to the Philadelphia, PA area you have to visit Nicholas Smith trains. This is a large train store in Delaware County that has many different gage trains and a very large Lionel and other O gage train inventory. He also operates a traditional toy store on the first floor that is also interesting to see.
I like hearing what your favorites were. The RPO and hospital cars were favorites of mine, and I also found the history on the Russian decapod really interesting.
My husband and i became customers last year and we loved their customer service they are so helpful and patient with us,overall we just keep coming back,it's a lovely store so much to look but no touching, it's fun time in this train store,we are not local we have to drive about 45 to a 60 depending the traffic on the 210 but it's all worth it,we like the prices they have on used trains and on the new ones has well,make sure to give them your email so they may send you deals to come like this 4 of july. Just come on in and explore the store and let the kid inside of you have fun.
Fantastic share just like your dad’s place good to see Mom&pop shops still going. If you ever go to Canada check out OVR trains candy everywhere Ho N scale Have a great rest of your day Happy 4th of July to ya 😎🚂🫵TSM
That's an amazing train shop and another nice video, thank you! Luckily there was (and still is) a cool train shop near where I grew up in NJ, The Model Railroad Shop! Now that I'm a Southerner in Training in NC 😂🤣, I have to shop on eBay or mail order. I'm amazed at all the visitors from around the world who have stopped there. I'm not as fluent as you are, mais je parle un peu...
Gotta say, Trey did a good job giving you a tour around the property. Certainly knows more about the Museum’s automotive collection then what I do, even though between him and I, I’m the one who volunteers there down at Spencer. Guess that’s a point deduction on my part. Anyways, I’m glad you enjoyed yourself at NCTM, and I’m glad you’re wanting to make a return visit. Might have to try and be down there during your next visit so you can get the insider perspective of an active volunteer there.
That’s so neat that you’re a volunteer there! It might be next year before I’m back there, but I will definitely be back. As I said in the episode, a lot more to see and learn, and I’m sure you could also add an interesting perspective.
I hope that even with the very knowledgeable train folks out there, that when they watch one of my episodes, there is something new learned or seen, or a new perspective or bit of inspiration experienced. Really glad to hear your feedback, and thankful for Trey‘s tour, of course. I hadn’t even known that there were RPO cars before, etc etc! Always something to learn!
Wow, that looks like an awesome store, we really enjoyed watching the video. If you get a chance, check out the videos my grandson (12) makes of our little layout here in the UK. He really enjoys creating little stories for his Dylington Model Railway and has recently started adding stop-motion animation to his videos such as the Dukes of Hazzard video ... Cheers James 🙂👍
@@LisaKEntertainment sure!, The famous Tehachapi Loop!, and the San Diego model railroad museum ,which has a massive HO scale model layout of the Tehachapi loop, go see either one! Amazing part of California rail history.
@@NarbonneGauchoBoingo Thanks! I went to Tehachapi many years ago, but need to go back for that. And my dad has a new customer who is in the club in Balboa Park, so was thinking San Diego needed to be on the list.
Aww, Ken. Thank you for all you wrote - and for sharing your stories on-camera! I loved the father / daughter theme of this episode... and got a kick of all you bought, in addition to the tires you came for lol : )
Couldn't help but notice the detail in those layouts and the odds of having a conversation in French while visiting a train shop in Burbank, CA? A little serendipity for you Lisa!! Cheers!!
Greeting to you on the East coast! And yes, I was so delighted meeting that friendly girl and getting to speak French and connect over trains! A lovely surprise that day.
You do a great job, I will probably never get back to California to see that store, I've never thought of visiting the local shops until I saw your dad via you. What a fantastic visit with the French Gal. She looked so happy as well and will be spreading good will from America with a beautiful story of the woman in the states who spoke French very well. The world needs more people to slow down, pay attention, care and be nice. Lovely, hoping for your continued success.
The Train Loft is in Winston - Salem, NC. My childhood best friend moved up to Randolph when I was a kid... beautiful area. But I haven't been to a train store in NJ yet. And just so you know, I always add people and businesses that I reference in the episode's description - and if I ever miss one, feel free to let me know : )
Hi Thomas, did you see the episode of the train show I did recently? That shows my dad's train club's layout. But so far, that's the only one I've shown in such detail. I love getting ideas of places and subject matter, and would enjoy a visit to another club's layout.
@@LisaKEntertainmentI just rewatched it. Your dad is great! As is his layout. I really like all the buildings and details. If you are at all interested in home layouts, I have a video cab ride of mine… you can find it by searching for “Cab Ride on the Redwoods And Pacific”
What a geat video Lisa! The time just flew by! Love your enthusiasm and what a stroke of luck for you to meet that young Frenchwoman and exercise the language. In my case my high school German's not just rusty, it's corroded beyond belief! I've heard of The Train Shack but have never been there. Probably never will be so thanks for bringing us along!
You cracked me up about your "corroded beyond belief" German LOL Thank you so much for YOUR enthusiastic feedback. My how I loved meeting that super friendly French woman. Between my reference to my dad and his train store, and Ken talking about introducing his daughter to trains, and Charline talking about her dad, there were three father / daughter duos represented <3 And some bilingual action. SUCH a joy to make this one : )
It’s true! Loved that so much! Trains… Salsa dancing… lots of things connect people, worldwide, and I love it when they do! And thank you for your really nice words, too ☺️
Lisa, Great video! I’m not sure why the RU-vid algorithm recommended it to me but I’m glad it did. And it’s actually really relevant to me. My mom lives in Claremont, which is nearly 100 miles southeast from me. The drive, particularly on weekdays, is really terrible due to the traffic. So, what I usually do when I visit her is take Metrolinlk. So, I’m really familiar with that station. 😀
