Other hobbies besides collecting militaria?,

Nice relics, and great restoration works!
Boat and train related items are a weakspot as well!

Kris: What kind of train stuff do you collect? I have a few things.
Here's some pictures from when I worked on the railroad.

I once may have mentioned I do collect Japanese female kimono, as well as
Asian chopsticks. At the moment I have a nine days exhibition in a museum
nearby. Especially the kimono were well received as most Dutch have no or
hardly any idea of what they are. Just two walls to show (thanks to my friend
Patrick). All are from the period 1925/1930 through the 1980's!!
