People Near Here - Diecast Collector

In the 1960s, die cast model cars were a craze that caught on with boys of all ages. Our Derek Muirden has the story of a local enthusiast with one of the most extensive collections of die casts to be found in the North Country. His name is Dick Sopher and he is the Director of Exhibits for the popular Champlain Valley Transportation Museum in Plattsburgh. Dick's die cast collection and the other exhibits at the Champlain Valley Transportation Museum have closed for the season, but will reopen in the spring on April 15th.

A great feature on die cast models. We all should celebrate the people who preserve our history in miniature.

Great collection! Congrats! I'm a diecast model car collector myself, as it can be seen in my videos! Thanks for sharing!

[@Elcoleccionistadiecast]

Oh my god.. this is a kind of "touching stars". I have a diecast car collection, but this.. is simply awesome. Regards from Chile, Southamerica.

[@JabokChannel]

This die cast "museum" is AWESOME.. Wow

[@Fandango541]

Well, 0 comments so I'm first! Never been first at anything and I hope I'm not the only one to appreciate this video. I've been collecting 1/18; 1/24; 1/12; 1/42 scale models for years, about 45 years as a matter of fact. I could never afford the cars I loved so these models are a terrific alternative. This guy's collection is awesome. And by the way, what's the big deal about losing your wallet in the back seat of an Olds 98? Happened all the time back in the old days! 😉😊

[@pranaytony]

[@moofushu]

I was looking closely at his hands and I didn't see a ring on his finger. Something like this comes at a price. For this man it looks like that marriage was sacrificed in favor of his collection.

[@ramiznagiyev204]
