Yes, sad to hear about Larry, may he rest in peace.
His posts were always interesting, he will be missed.

Brakie was a good fellow to have around. He could carry his own in a discussion, which fewer seem inclined to do. He was practical, down to earth, and knew where to find fun in model railroading. Carry on and stop by to visit the layout now that your ghostly presence can go where it pleases.

doctorwayneI am very saddened to report that Brakie has taken the last train to what I hope will be a better place.
Thanks Wayne for letting us know. Condolences to his family and friends.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
mlehmanHe was practical, down to earth, and knew where to find fun in model railroading.
That is very true. He knew what he enjoyed, and that is what he built.
I loved the enthusiasm he had for all of his project ISLs.

My condolences this his family. He will be missed.
I as well am very saddened to hear the news about our forum friend Larry. I do not wish to speak in past tense as I believe a good spirit lives on in the memories and thoughts of those who know them.
I did chat with Larry many times through the years here. Larry always comes across as a good man and a kind man. He will be missed but remembered here.
My heart goes out to him, his family and friends.

Well, rats. Larry and I communicated frequently on the "electronic" highway. I did some painting for his "Columbus & Hocking Valley" railroad, both in HO and in N. Sorry for his passing and 'Rest in Peace' my friend!

I dedicated a "crummy" in his honor:

He will always be remembered when his train passes by...

In an endeavor predominated by grey hairs, whenever we lose a member who did what we emulate in miniature, to put bread on his table, we lose untold amounts of real knowledge and experience. I did not know Mr. Morgan on a personal basis but we did exchange ideas on this forum and not seeing "Brakie" will leave a large void here.
To all the rest of you, please guard your health preciously, and remember Brakie.
Gone but not forgotten, Rest In Peace Larry.
