I am very sad to report that Jim Weaver from Atlas O has passed away this past week. His funeral is upcoming in Dunelin, NJ. My deepest sympathy to his family and friends.

Angel For Jim, his family, and those at Atlas.

The industry seems to be losing a lot of well respected, top-knotch, people lately. Sad

Read it on the other forum this morning. A big loss for his family and a countless number of friends, but also to Atlas O and the toy train community as well..S.J.

Sad.  I will pray for his family.  I hope his vision for the company and hobby continue in his absence.
