It's exciting he has a passion for a fun hobby like his trains. When we lived in the western part of TN, there was a man who decorated his train track for Christmas and invited parents to bring their children. It got to be a tradition for small groups to visit and then carol.Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12404589772713955710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-81586060641881641852011-05-03T11:17:34.426-05:002011-05-03T11:17:34.426-05:00What a glorious train collection he has.

(I was the only boy Daddy was gonna have) When I got a little older I gave the set to a boy step~cousin and have kicked myself ever since.<br /><br />I too think that Far Guy should just build more display cases ... or set up more tables!

I have a friend who is an erector set fanatic who just keeps buying one more thing. He has stuff old and new that I have never seen before. Yes I remember all the toys that met their doom in our household and others that went to the dump while I was at school. Great looking rail car.L.

So good luck, Connie, Far Guy will never have enough and getting him to part with any of them may be a pipe-dream. But then I should talk as I can never have enough books, yarn, kitchen gadgets, flowers, etc. Guess there is a little "collector" in all of us. Far Guy 's train room is fantastic. I would love to see it sometime. That is one collection I wish my husband had taken up instead of guitars - then I could at least play with them. I don't know how to play guitar. :)linda mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08203742811516417039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-75851074539907205032011-05-03T07:28:56.888-05:002011-05-03T07:28:56.888-05:00The hubby and his dad loves trains and far guy sur...The hubby and his dad loves trains and far guy sure has a collection!lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01998455958377639450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-51266008421701274642011-05-03T07:19:42.230-05:002011-05-03T07:19:42.230-05:00I love Far Guy's collection.
