Rather than post a single picture here, I would ask you to go visit his you-tube posts here http://www.youtube.com/user/shamusy



He was a good friend who I have spoken to over the phone. He lived in the U.K. while I am in PA.. He helped start The Gauge as it was, almost 8 years ago...

After I had joined (2 days after him, when The Gauge was but a week old) I told him of my knowledge of model railroading. he asked me if I would want to moderate a forum or 2..

I replied I had little such experience... we agreed to start The Builder's Plate forum. I learned a lot from him including scenery and photography skills. Most of all he taught me to be a good, fair, Moderator.

When he was ready to move on and start his own forum, He asked me if I would like to Administrate The Gauge.. After thinking a while, I said yes.... That was 4 years ago..

I will miss him... On behalf of The Gauge .. We created this tribute as we did for Robin.......

Rest In Peace, My friend ...... and mentor............
