Collecting antique train cars, is a hobby my son Chad enjoys. As a young child growing up, he always loved trains. Yet, I don't believe that he owned a scale model, at that time.
This is a hobby that Chad has taken interest in, over the past five years. And his wife Kristine supports him completely, because it's something that keeps him very happy.
This is his most recent find, which Chad is quite proud of
Some of these train cars are 90-95 years old!
Kristine has hobbies also, that she has enjoyed throughout the years.

When Chad was a teenager, he collect cough drop papers. I tried to throw them away(without knowing) and he got upset! He had a crush on a girl by the name of Mary. Whenever she opened a cough drop, Chad would save the paper! lol
