- The Livi B. Railroad is located in Willow Glen, CA and is the creation of Evan Bautista (@trainbuilder on TH-cam) and named after his daughter. It consists of 250 feet of track, part of which is permanent and part of which is laid for each operating session. The sharpest curve is around 13ft radius. A short wheelbase 0-4-0 porter live steam locomotive built by Ken Roeh is the motive power, along with three flat cars built by Evan, using Steve Easlon trucks. Known as 'The Guy with the Train" around the neighborhood, Evan has given rides to hundreds of kids during Halloween.

Evan really has the dream RR from my perspective. No matter how much or how little space you have you can make it happen. Was awesome to meet even at Bittercreek earlier this month too. Such an awesome guy and loco.
Felt like I was actually in this cool little train. Don't usually get such a realistic riding experience without a VR. It was also a good learning watching the whole thing from start to finish. Thanks creators!
VR.
What a nice situation you have created, very clean and organized.
May I ask where you found your track? I didn't know if you bought it pre bent? Seems you have worked out a lot of the challenges facing us new to live steam and laying track.
Great job and thanks again for sharing. 👍
That is so completely and totally AWESOME! I bet you’re the most popular guy/house on the block when you break out that engine! I’ve never lost my fascination with trains and would love to have something like this. As P.T. Barnum once said: “the noblest art is that of making others happy.” You are a true artist, Mr. Bautista. Happy railroading!
Awwww shucks… Thanks for the love 😊
When that whistle blows the folks sure come out, and 9/10 times it becomes a party!! Like the old saying goes.., ‘If you build it, they will come….
He obviously lives in a decent neighborhood that won't call police for being loud 🙄
@TRAIN BUILDER I hope my tweet goes far and wide! My grandfather was a conductor but died before I was born. An Amtrak conductor saved my life by emphasizing I needed to hold onto the rail when getting on - which hampered the man's attempt to kill me by spraying silicone on the train floor in front of me. My hamstring was badly torn and the ER doctor at Yale University Hospital REFUSED treatment even though the conductor called for an ambulance and transported me there because I couldn't get up. He had everyone get off and switched trains. That guy stayed there watching! Like an arsonist watching the fire he created. I would have been dead if his plan worked - and Richard Blumenthal was in on it. My landlord too. All hooked up with Becker & Becker Development - same group that's tight with Silicon Valley Bank. Bozzuto listed their company being owned by a Weather Altering Service. I left an FBI agent I knew a message about it. My phone is obvious bugged by CIA, but I made sure I printed thevm info and mailed it to him. Hopefully he got it. We didn't talk to each other and I was OK with that, to not interfere with his investigations. He saved my life once too. The government structure is so filled with organized crime. My own uncle turned out to be a jigalo, probably rich doing CIA jobs. He stole my SSN and used it on the purchase documents of the second luxury car he got, a Mercedes Benz for his wife. It ruined my credit. I called the bank and told them to Prosecute him. They instead told me to call him. I said no. He's a criminal. The CIA are protected no matter what. No wonder he said I could stay there and secure a job, yet told me I couldn't get a job unless it was a government job, delaying it all, and asking me to take his niece (SHE had money, so I didn't earn the right to be called niece. My ambition and skills meant nothing to him) to upstate NY for a vacation - WTF - she could have flown. But I did and returned back after 2 weeks. As much as I didn't like living up there, I secured a temporary job as Secretary to the Divisiom Artillery. I left my uncle's, leaving $300 cash on the table, despite having no income for months. Little did I know he made thousands by evading tariffs and taxes using my SSN when he got the Mercedes Benz. No wonder he didn't eant me to work around tgere. He'd get caught! But so what, he's obviously a CIA operative and can do what he want. That was tears ago. He did nothing for my father and my father was kilked by my brother conspiring with a paedophile priest from Albany, NY - David Bentley. The Catholic Church was being sued by his victims of 19 years - aboyt 26 victims. They needed a permanent secretary but refused to put me in for a permanent slit so I requested a transfer. They wouldn't help me with that either and I made a lot of achievements. I left after 3 years, sick of then using me. In an old WW2 bldg. I was their slave. A low life, which NY uncle obviously set the pace for. They didn't care my uncle stole my SSN and ruined my credit, etc. But I met General Colin Powell when I was there. The assigned soldier failed to call the building to attention so I did, as regulations stated I had to if nobody else did, not even the command Sargent major. What a hoot! His daughter had the same name as me, too. He wanted to talk to me more after seeing the Colonel but the CSM or colonel obviously called Washington and got GHW Bush to tell him not to talk to me. The colonel TOLD all soldiers to vote for GHW Bush. Several said if he became President, he would order war. I voted for Clinton just because of that. WTF - Clinton was a stooge, to help him win. He is his illegitimate son, that's why GW Bush wasn't a junior. Clinton was born a month sooner - maybe deliberately, by c-section or induced labor. Well, youtube will probably block me here too because the Technocrats protect the crooks they conspire with. Especially CIA. Mark Zuckerberg is really Robert T Morris, who created the Mortis Worm and destroyed all computer hard drives in 1989 - except Apple computers - Technocracy was getting their foothold, and CIA obviously changed the identity of many crooks. Our country has been hijacked, friends. Americans mass-murdered Americans on September11. I haven't threatened anyone and shared my opinion, as always - but it doesn't matter - TH-cam will block me for hate speech and claim in a message they have to protect the community. DESTRUCTION of the economy is protecting the community? WTF but people are so lame brained from allowing themselves to be mind controlled, glued to TV, etc. 3/27/2023
Now this is the best backyard railroad video I’ve ever seen. Especially love panning the house and then the opening of the garage door. Great opening scene!
Had this video in my recommendations, and I'm impressed. What a change of pace to the usual "all talk" vlogs nowadays. Attention to detail, an eye for great composition, and a wonderful mixture of angles. And to top it off a cat as passenger, this really is a hobby for the whole family.
Thanks for the wonderful comment! It truly is a hobby, and or obsession, one can share with the the whole family. Hell the whole neighborhood! Half the time it turns out to be a party over here…!! 🚂🎉
Hi
I’ve been wanting to do this for years where do you even find these trains?

I wish I had Mike for my neighbor growing up. What a cool little train.
Excellent!!!!
So cool to see this man do this for kids and mothers and fathers there are good people out there …
I think Massee and Train Builder should do a documentary on live steam. I’m a fan of both and this video proves my point. I think live steam deserves a production that captures both the fun and professional aspect of the hobby. Great video.
Simply, a wonderful little railroad. Mr. Bautista has created tidy little railroad in limited space that is sure to provide all the pleasure one could hope to experience from this hobby. Love the flat cars and locomotive.
What a nicely designed line! I love the scale and the equipment in general but engine is a dream come true. The video is first class, no doubt, and the experience of seeing it from the very beginning of the set up was incredibly practical. Avoiding having a switch out of the engine shed was pure genious and it saves so much money and complexity! Well done all around. Congrats.
Now THAT is what I call a train set because you put it together with a drill and you can actually ride it.
All aboard.
Beautiful locomotive and cars. So cool to see a backyard set up in a suburban neighborhood. Like High Desert Railroader commented, don't need acres of land! Great footage.
Which Beauty you saw in car/s????
This is a man that thoroughly enjoys his train toys! Every kid wants something.. some get fire trucks, some get police cars and this guy gets the cool miniature train! Well done you!
Fantastic railroad, and keeping the wife happy by taking up some of the track when not operating. Gotta keep the peace, . . . .
The filming shows so much detail. Killerness and Evan still rocken the black Chuck Tailors!
Lol! Yup! Chuck’s go with the Railroading as well… 😃🚂🥾
How freakin awesome is that? Every little kids dream. This guy will be a kid his entire life. I love it.
Mike. Tiny steam for kids. Your concentration is incredible. Thanks master !!. Regards. Dave
Pure magic.
very nice. i bet the neighborhood kids line up to ride it.
Top notch train setup! Great cinematography, nice and quiet with just the train sounds as it’s running! A+ ❤
Awesome railway, love how the logistics have been planned out, so anytime it’s not operational you would never know it existed
Like the little hen hen story, nobody helped you lay the track but everybody wants a ride...
Very cool! All the better is that it is a real steam-powered locomotive. Nice piece of craftsmanship all the way around.
What a wonderful daddy, to do all that work for the little ones' fun! 😊 I know they must love it.
I love your little train! I love all trains!
I REALLY want to have something like this when I grow up, Seeing people doing this gives me hope!
This is by far my favorite Locomotive. I really like this guys layout.
Incredible amount of work! Glad Evan's family is game for his passion!!!
Me too…!! 😊
Bummer, I can only give you one thumbs up! Wish this old man could come out and ride the train!
a joy to see! Thank you!
Beautiful, no words to express 😊
Good way to transport just about anything to the back of the house , i use a golf cart & trailer
from the car to the kitchen patio door saves a lot of carrying through the house
Wow this pretty awesome.would be nice to have a train around my house I bet this set up for Christmas looks very nice
I am watching in the U.K. What a delightful miniature railroad. The camera work is superb. Thank you for sharing with everybody. You are a very lucky & clever man!!
Love this and it could be extended to the entire community. Very much impressed.
Dog gone awesome! Thanks for sharing Mike. You did a great job!
Spectacular! Now imaging a few extra gondolas totally covered In Christmas decorations and lights!
Another terrific video Mike. What a fun railroad !
Incredible layout.
Well done, nice little loco and pulls very well. Australia.
Beautiful garden & railway, lovely engine & carriages!
thanks for having us aboard
Love the part of the journey where you go through the front yard and along the side of the house… the railway is tucked into the landscaping perfectly! I’d love to do this at my place and I have a lot of space
My complements all the way around. From the design and construction of the train as well as the beautiful track layout around your home. Your scaled down steam engine is beyond amazing. This is probably one of the most impressive things I’ve seen done by a private guy. I love seeing the cat get in on the family fun. Beautiful video production as well. Thank you for sharing your work for others to enjoy.
A great train and a great vid as well...
Cool train! love the cat😻😻
I've seen many a home-train layout with different scaled locos, and have worked on HOLLYWOOD movies with trains... but as far as the temporary track-laying each time, I think I'd permanently imbed the track in the driveway and sideway, specially if you're intend to live in that home a long time!
We used to have a scaled model railway store here in Burbank, they personally worked with Walt Disney and helped get him interested, built very convincing scaled trains for the studios.
Either way, you do the BEST you can with the space and economics, and its always encouraging when you see children still wanting to ride the model trains in this day and age.
Great presentation Mike and you have a well landscaped garden as so many have already commented!
Thanks Graham! It was a pleasure to film with Mike. Such talent to the art. I’d love nothing more then to imbed the rails, and will look more into that in the near future. I have a lot of brick unfortunately, and I fear that maybe an issue.., But we’ll see! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊
@@TRAINBUILDER As for not imbedding the rails, maybe Mike's thinking to the future and moving... nothing like a big, big backyard for a growing railroad!
Truly LIVIN the dream! I'd just be happy with a simple electric powered engine! Plenty of room for trains, just no idea where to even start sourcing tracks, wheels, etc.
That's is amazing looks like so much fun for the kiddos
I love your steam engine!
Awww shuck, thanks!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Glad everyone in the family had fun as well.
Thanks for posting this.
Absolutely fabulous. Thanks Mike, even the cat is loving it! The best use of "Set Track" I have seen. Greetings from Perth in Western Australia.
Wow !!! That’s the coolest little train ever !!! What a wonderful man !!! I wish y’all were my neighbors !! ❤
Impressive work❤❤❤
It is obvious who is having the most fun. This video was recommended to me because I had just viewed the wonderful steam locomotive gala in Galway Ireland
I love the craziness.
Brings back memories. In the early mid 50s when I was a kid, I grew up in Houston, tx .near the center of the city there was the city's park throughout the park was a small gage like the one in this video that for 75cwnts one could ride all through the park. The ride lasted about 15 min .
What a cute Porter
Thank you 😊
Thank you for posting this,enjoyed it very much.
I enjoyed the hell outta this! A super interesting watch.🤘
That little train is so cool! Thanks for sharing!
Wow this is incredible! What great shot to go with such a snug rail line. The black livery on the locomotive is brilliant. I love the cat, ha!
Really did enjoy your video. Your mini locomotive is very impressive. You are proof that we are never to old to be young. Great job sir!💯💯💯💯
Thank you my friend for the wonderful comment 😊🚂
@@TRAINBUILDER you are very welcome!!🙏👍
Put a dual whistle on her, lol. Awesome video, nice railroad! Beautiful 🚂 locomotive
Adorable….I wanted one of these as a kid.
This is freaking amazing! I'll never have the money to do this, but I wish I could! I'll have to stick to my G scale and just wish I could ride it, lol.
You will one day my friend!!
They have quick connects at welding supply stores for ox/acetylene torches that should work for your propane setup.
Very neat setup!
the best part for me is that is is an actual steam powered locomotive
Was chingón!!, beautiful train!!
機関車も素晴らしいですが、メンテナンス環境も整っているところがまたいいですね😀
Beautiful !!!
Chu chu train in the Garden of Eden long way to go .!..!...!.......
Thanks from Germany !!
If we were your neighbor my 2 year old would lose his mind seeing this. He’s nuts for trains and this is hella cool.
Absolutely love this little Porter! I have porters in G, O,And ON30. They are an in chanted piece of work.
Very sweet little train journey with all aboard...😻
That’s the best single mom lure I’ve ever seen.
That looks like just the best fun from a lover of trains big and small.
In the garage cool love that done this in your backyard lol wonder if the neighbours complain lol
Actually they love it and come over for rides often 😃🚂
That's one fine miniature train. It reminds my of the one at Springbank Park in London, Ontario which, up until 1968, ran on steam power. It still runs every summer, but now with a petrol engine.
Excellent
Now that is way cool. That would be awesome to ride in the yard.
The adults are funniest than children... i wish a train like that to drink beers while i drive it...👍
Thats soo cute!❤
Thank you 😊♥️🛠🚂
Absolutely marvelous! Great thing, bravo!
What a fun day 😃🚂
Great video and love your railroad!
Thank you 😃🚂
Well done Sir. Pretty lucky kids.
Beautiful... No words to express... Tq sir
My childhood fantasy right here!
That is so cool, I really appreciate the amount of effort and detail this gentleman put into the creation of this rideable mini steam train Great job Sir!
I think u r a dream achievement moment... like a plant blossom feel...i enjoyed it your travel....
Nice respect 👍👏🏻
And the award for best wife goes to, this wife.
ive never wanted to be a cat so bad as that one
That is really cool 🙏👍
I started to figure out that I'm not only in this world who likes these things.
What a lot of work. You must be very devoted. Lovely to watch though. Janet from Australia
Even the cat gets to ride. Awesome!
Wonderful experience
An amazing and beautifully photographed train set. Maybe Mr. Bautista could come and sort out my country's (NZ) sagging intercity and suburban train systems.
