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

Our clinic this Thursday will feature several of our group sharing something of their current model railroading.

Alex Brikoff will show photos of his Milwaukee Road layout of the Othello area. He will also demonstrate his new control system. John Thompson will share progress on his new HO layout featuring the Santa Fe in Victorville, California. He will also show photos of the layouts at the Tacoma History Museum over the holidays. Di Voss will show his latest project of creating an HO scale Streetcar, circa. 1900, that he printed on a 3D printer. Di now lives in an “Over 55 Retirement Community” in Arizona, where one club has a 5 color 3D printer. 

Finally, I share photos of my collection of HO steam D&RGW locomotives. Come join us and share what you have been modeling.
