92 Year Old Loves His Trains

Steve Frenken sent in these photos to share:

N scale train display

Steve says – “My dad is 92, before his 90th birthday, I picked up his N scale train and unfinished layout and set up a display cabinet so he could see them. For the past 17 years, his layout was packed up from a previous move. He wasn’t able to finish the layout but still liked model trains. I made a case from scratch that would hold enough of the trains that my dad remembers. I used a modified trestle kit, cork oak bark, an old house and station that my dad had worked on many years ago and supplemented the trains with older sets from a variety of sources.”

You an excellent person, son & good model to the humanity.
Should be many more persons like yourself in this frigid & heartless world.
Hope you outlast your dad.
Many blessings to you.
