So, I have found the most classy rail fan channel. ❤

[SimnTrains]

That is just amazing, love how they got the model railroad carved into the landscape, thanks for showing this Lisa

I’m a O Scale train enthusiast but this larger scale is perfect for a large outdoor garden layout. The design, track layout, and buildings are all impressive. Once again Lisa you’ve given us another enjoyable video. Safe travels.

[vettebecker]

Awesome as always, I hope to visit this place someday ❤

[raysrails]

Nice thanks for sharing and making another great video, you seem to be having a great time with the train content. Have a fun day.

[lyndonfoster]

[JohnNyren]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing

[SonicMonumentStudios]

Another wonderful video. Thank you, Lisa!!

[johnchambers]

Thanks for the video. In Philadelphia one of our outdoor garden areas has a similar G scale train layout that runs through their property. Just like this display they used natural materials to build stations and Philadelphia buildings. It is nice to see how many people are enjoying the display. I recognized one of the stations as a model of Cincinnati Union station. I thought it was a nice note that they said they will rotate various stations and trains to keep the display fresh.

You look lovely in the hat. That is a great place to check out, I use to do G-scale and still of a ton of it. But now it's all packed away and now I'm doing n-scale. Keep up the good work and your energy is wonderful

Hello from Maryland and keep up with the excellent work and have a great week 😊

[jamesrea]

Our family lives just a couple of miles down the road and have been members of Descanso for years. So fun to see this on YouTube. 😊

This is a real grand opening, looking gorgeous as ever by the way!

Wow, totally amazing garden railroad. I like the fact that they used all natural surrounding materials to build it. The blue boxes of trains on the shelves are made by USA Trains which ic owned by Charles Ro Supply in Malden Massachusetts. If you are ever in that area it's worth the visit. Entertrainment Junction is a indoor garden railway located in Ohio. Sadly it is set to close by the end of the year. Garden trains are big in California. Look up the Sacramento Valley Garden Railway Society and they usually have a public event during the year. Are you planning a visit to the TCA Eastern Division York Show this fall? I know your Dad from the Train Loft likes to attend the show. He creates very nice custom run trains to offer people. He was showing me some paper work for future custom run releases at the TCA York spring show. Anyway, great video work on the visit.

Very cool garden layout tour, thanks! 😎👍

I am not really into garden railroading, but seeing what going here in this video, is fascinating. I am an HO scale "brass" model train collector. That's really where my interest is. But, I still enjoyed watching this episode, the outdoor layout is beautiful. 😊

[ameyring]

The layout looks very similar to that of the Morris Arboretum in Philadelphia, and they were both were produced by the same company. Nice to see it in CA!

[jameslanders]

Good camera work and wonderful interviews Lisa.

[RobertoMartinez-prbd]

Nice, 👍 I used to work in a in NYC Bronx where they would have a set up for the holidays.

[BigMacksTrains]

Nice video Lisa. Keep them coming! See you at the Train Loft!
