With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of our dear friend and fellow Narrow Gauge modeler, Jim Brown of West Vancouver, BC, who left us February 14.

Jim was a valued member of our Northwest community, known for his passion, creativity, and dedication to Narrow Gauge modeling. Jim was a friend to many, always willing to share his knowledge and lend a helping hand. Amongst our local narrow gauge bunch known as the “Kirkland Cocktail Club” he was known to us as “Dr. Lenz” for his early adoption of DCC. His warmth, humor, and generosity will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jim’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.

With deepest sympathy,

Russ Segner
