For the participating galleries too the event was the right platform to know each other and exchange information and ideas. For the first time, this year, the event got groups from Japan, South Korea and Taiwan on a guided tour. There were lectures organized by guest art specialists.

The pieces date from roughly 1850″”1940, and form an encyclopedic collection of toys and trains from every major European and American manufacturer operating during this period. “I put it together piece-by-piece, and my quest for the highest quality trains and toys took me to thousands of toy fairs and shows.

I hope they bring as much joy to others as they have brought to me,” stated Jerry Greene, owner of this remarkable collection.
