Paul Scoles, one of the Fourth Division’s internationally known model railroaders, passed away Friday morning, May 9, 2014 of complications from back surgery.

His Sn3 Pelican Bay Railway & Navigation Company layout has been featured in numerous magazines. He created a series of videos and books about scenery and operations. He was a Vietnam veteran who continued to suffer from shrapnel wounds in his legs.

Paul cared passionately about model railroading as an art form and was one of the great talents of our hobby. He was a man of dignity and humor — both of which could be seen on his layout.
