His then collection was bolstered by his elder brother’s playthings.He was taken by their robustness and close resemblance to the vehicles he saw travelling along the highways of the day, as well as seeing some on TV and in comics. They were a tangible reflection of life as he was growing up.Wind on a few years and life events get in the way.
