Toad, I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking which search terms work best?

That is what I was tryn to say. Sometimes on the forums I can never get it out or point across right.

"garden trains" gets you over 3,000 results.
"garden railroad" gets over 3,400, a bunch of which seem to be people's railroads (ie, John Smiths' garden railroad)
"live steam" around 3,000
"garden railroad tour" is 177
"lgb train" around 675
"indoor large scale" gets 20

does that help any?

General terms work well, combining these terms helps yield good results

G, large, scale, garden, railroad, train, model, LGB, outdoor, indoor,

specific terms also yield results

1/20.3, 1/22.5, 1/29, Fn3, F scale, Bachmann, aristo, accucraft, live steam, etc.

   Have fun with your trains

After you have used the terms suggested by Rene and Vic, if you have opened the video in a "new window" or "new tab", in this new screen you can put in the name of the owner into the search tab and you will get all of the videos posted by that person.  If you want to look at all of mine just put "001pudder" into the search tab, and it will take you to my "home" screen showing you all of my videos, AND my "favorites", ones that I like and have selected to put links to them on my "home page".  You can also put in the proper name of a specific railroad i.e. "Cumbres Toltec" will give you over 100 home vids of the old D&RGW branch line, "Silverton" will give another hundred or so.

If you still have questions, drop me an email and I'll try to help you out further.
