Ron Borsella and Toy Trains Unlimited

This is the first shoot from a project I'm going to work on about the local toy train store owner, the regulars, the store moving and the grand opening of the new location.



Ron Borsella, owner of Toy Trains Unlimited shows off a rare model of car that was made in 1940 and the coating of paint on the plastic has been wearing thin. "Theres alot of value in this stuff, you'd be surprised what I've been offered for some of these things," says Borsella.




"Collecting is about that quest to find something unique, something no one else has. I think we're all trying to do that in one way or another." Says toy train collector Bill Byrley, who works for a train brake manufacturing plant in Westminster.


Borsella shows off the new store on York Street, which has more space then the old location. "Still not enough space for all the trains I have," says Borsella, "I'd still need twice this size."







Borsella and Dave Robitaille move Borsella's new display cases to the new location on York Street.
