This collector is keeping Lisbon's tram tradition alive

Location: Lisbon, Portugal

Paulo Marques has been collecting and restoring old, rusty trams since 1996

The city used to have hundreds of them

Now there are only around 50 historic trams left

Marques' ultimate dream is to open his own tram museum

(SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) TRAM COLLECTOR, PAULO MARQUES, SAYING:

"Anyone who comes here, whether they like trams or not, is dazzled by the collection. Collectables are usually small, not life-size. Many people have old cars but this is unique."
