BLOWING STEAM: a TOUCHING FATHER / SON STORY, a HEART-WARMING YOUNG TRAIN ENGINEER and more...

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Hi Folks! My heart was so warmed while editing this. Also, if you are able to connect in person in Southern California, I've just launched Anaheim and Los Angeles Train Talk with Lisa socials, so check out www.lisakentertainment.com/traintalkwithlisa for more information. Limited capacity, so get your ticket now and let's hang out : )

[@brianwhittaker4885]

Enjoyed this so much Lisa!,🚂😎🥇

[@LisaKEntertainment]

So glad to hear it, Brian!!!!

[@everettthepetractionguy4222]

I agree wholeheartedly...👉 10:06. That's what this wonderful train hobby is all about, "sharing". 😊

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Yep, all of those guys were focused on that piece... sharing knowledge and support, sharing the hobby / giving experiences to people... really beautiful.

[@VyMariaDong]

Thanks for visiting us Lisa! Such a great video that captured why we love this club. And your enthusiasm is infectious! Hope to see you back again for another run day!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@VyMariaDong I really enjoyed chatting with you and your family there, and even as I was editing this, Liam was warming my heart. Thank you all for your warmth and for talking to me on-camera 🎬🌟

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@VyMariaDong P.S. So glad you saw this, as I knew you were following my channel, and I did send this to the club’s email address, but didn’t have your direct contact.

[@jameslanders4819]

Very nice lisa...I need to get out there and visit that club.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@jameslanders4819 Absolutely!

[@jameslanders4819]

@LisaKEntertainment it was nice to see this train activity on a warm sunny day in California. We are dealing with a blizzard and 14 inches of snow here in missouri. I chuckled near the end when you said you were cold...ha ha

[@jameslanders4819]

@LisaKEntertainment but no matter the weather, you provide an interesting and very personal interview of your subjects. Well done Lisa

[@tommyjusz]

knowledge not shared is knowledge lost. looks like a fun time

[@usamadejackson]

Cool 😎 video Lisa!!!!! You're too cute!! Lol

[@DK-sw6xx]

Thank you Lisa! Love the behind the door access to these places. I love all the dedicated people and you ! The steam engines are my fav!😊

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@DK-sw6xx ☺️☺️☺️☺️ Thank you for sharing what all you loved ❤️ Wasn’t that Steam blowing amazing!

[@DK-sw6xx]

@ Yes it Was! Kinda reminds me of how I am when I get home from work!🤣

[@asdfdsa45]

Lisa, very touching. Your interviews were spot on and so interesting, for a moment, I thought you were going to get to use some of that machinery and build something!!! 😁🙄Even that little 8 year old was so brave to be filmed in an interview. Shaun's account near the end was very touching, brought tears to my eyes. I too lost my father in 2011 and my mother in 2018. My father was seven years older than my mom but both of them passed away at 76 years of age. I'm 61 and I miss them every day. My middle school students tell me I look like I'm 35-45 (I appreciate their kindness!!) Continue to cherish every moment you can with your parents. Your father must be so proud of your travels and 'documentaries' on the very subject he loves so much - trains. Lisa, I hope you have a very Happy New Year 🧨🧨🎉🎉🎇🎇and with so many adventures yet to be experienced. I look forward to following you in these adventures!! Stay safe and enjoy this time in your life. Life is all about the experiences and memories.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

What a very heartfelt message... thank you. Knock on wood, my entire immediate family is healthy and alive, and more and more each day, I don't take that for granted. A guy I knew in high school just died a couple weeks ago, in fact. I've been working on new rituals and life choices to really live life to the fullest, be healthier, and with inner peace. And I'm so sorry that you don't have your parents. I will have to talk to my dad some more about his thoughts and I'm not sure if he's seen this episode yet, but yes, I know he loves that he and I share this interest and appreciated when I worked with him in his store some during the last four years.

[@asdfdsa45]

@@LisaKEntertainment 😊High School was/is a marker in our lives and when someone you knew passes away from those years, it hits you pretty hard and like you said above, you try to live life to the fullest with as few regrets as possible. I've known some people who passed away while in their 20's (health related issues) so you're right, you can't take your life for granted as tomorrow is not guaranteed us. You just keep doing what you're doing, you are touching lots of people's hearts. 😊👍

[@vettebecker1]

Very cool !! ❤ This is how I got my start in the hobby, going to clubs and taking rides.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Really neat hearing that personal story. I know you're a fan of these trains, so hope you enjoyed seeing their machine shop / club area etc. Greetings to you back in the Carolinas!

[@Joe-y4x]

Like the steam lisa. Your dad really comes out with the best custom run engines. They are tge best!!!!!!!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Dad, did you hear that? @thetrainloft Yes, he is very creative and takes a lot of care in the design, does a ton of research and is thoughtful in the cab numbers etc. Thank you for your words of appreciation :)

[@harrisonallen651]

The 8 year old that you interviewed felt like he was the luckiest kid on earth. I’d love to come home from school with the opportunity to ride miniature trains before dinner. At 5:11 I couldn’t help but notice that the diesel engine stored in the bottom left corner shared a similar resemblance to Thomas The Tank Engine from its bright blue paint scheme and the bright red underlining. With speaking of which, the woman who helped bring Thomas to the tv screens including introducing him to you Americans via a program called Shining Time Station has unfortunately passed away not too long ago. If it weren’t for her, not only Thomas wouldn’t be a household name he is today but we would’ve never had a whole new generation of people getting involved with heritage railroading. And that’s something we have to remind ourselves about when we go to these places where steam engines still shines.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Yeah, I would think he would be quite the popular kid at school, offering his friends train rides!

[@stevenfd123]

This place is amazing. Great video Lisa!

[@MrsRetroRed]

That was great! I’m so glad you went out there. Very touching to hear and watch my cousin Sean tell the story of he and my uncle building their train.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@MrsRetroRed I smiled reading your comment 😌 Thanks so much for watching and for your nice comment.

[@donna4308]

I’m relieved to receive your email verifying your status. I’ve been wondering each day and saying a prayer. I am not surprised that your loving spirit continued to attract kindness and generosity.

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@donna4308 thank you so much for saying all of that Donna, and for looking out. Definitely a crazy time and so many unknowns. But knock on wood, I’m pretty sure my home will stay intact, and that’s far more than a lot of people’s situation.

[@donna4308]

@@LisaKEntertainment , yes, my heart goes out to them, and I know it must have many impacts on your life too.

[@sonicnick5192]

They probably already told you but if you’re in the SoCal region, come out to Riverside Live Steamers. That’s where you’ll usually see Shawn and we’ve got only steam engines that we can show you

[@RLSHoggerSean]

I invited her that day at OCME, my boy. And we were IM'ing about it today. And you know me, I already offered to let her run my locomotive. ;)

[@tommymartin4827]

Love the boot shots Lisa . I imagine you may have a extensive collection ❤

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@tommymartin4827 I’ve pretty much gone though my repertoire with these episodes! I think there’s one pair left lol. I need to get some new boots 🤗

Thanks so much, Ryan!

[@ninjaguy107]

Lisa, you should come up to Fillmore California. We are a historic rail town but in recent years we are losing that heritage due to changed ownership of our train yard. Could be a good story...

[@DruSteel69]

Another awesome episode, Lisa. I love the interviews and family fun atmosphere. Thanks for sharing with us. Happy new year! 🎆

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@DruSteel69 thanks so much! Yes, I really appreciated that atmosphere, too.

Thank you!!!!

[@user-lkel1950]

Great video as usual, glad I've found your site, have enjoyed several videos. Your infectious enthusiasm and personal history with trains and model RR keeps your videos interesting. I grew up in SoCal with a Dad who worked on the Santa Fe, so rode many trains in my youth (to San Clemente for beach days when he had the LA - SD run). Looking forward to more from you!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

Loved hearing your story and appreciate that you found my channel, too! Thank you for all you wrote : ) Sounds like you got a lot of trips in on a cool route - and how neat that your dad worked on the Santa Fe!

[@wayneantoniazzi2706]

Thanks so much Lisa, you did what you do best, take us places we'd never get to go! Man, I could do some things in that machine shop, and mind you NOT put myself in the emergency room! And that steam engine doing the boiler blow-down, just like the real thing! How cool was that? Thanks again! And Happy New Year!

[@LisaKEntertainment]

@@wayneantoniazzi2706 I know, right?! That steam really blew! An emergency room definitely crossed my mind when in that machine shop. My dad cut off the tip of one of his fingers with a planer in his workshop when I was a kid 😬
