Bend Oregon's "Train Man" And His Amazing Steam-Powered Backyard Miniature Railroad!

Known as the "Train Man" Of Bend Oregon for his yearly display of vintage model trains at the Deschutes County Library every winter, we'll be exploring Michael Lavrich's Private backyard miniature narrow gauge Brautigan Brook railway. We'll be firing up and running his miniature narrow gauge C-16 2-8-0 COAL FIRED Steam locomotive #316 and following him as he runs around the railroad, and then get a First Person view of me running this engine around the railroad!

The train man sure knows how to build a railroad, that train runs great.

WOW!! thats an awesome railroad

[@Tank245]

It really is. The portion where we go down the 3% to the bridge, he has plans to extend that track further down to his barn. I'm hoping to see that happen one day

I'm just happy people are watching it in general. I mostly just do this for my own entertainment so it's nice to see it getting watched.
