"Mark Sullivan (chessie 4155) has passed Friday at 54. Mark was one of the creators of Trains Across America"
Just found this info out on another forum and thought I would share it here since Mark ia also a member and contributer here. I remember watching many of his videos here and his pics on the weekly photo fun threads.
Here is a tribute video his friend made. I can not get it to embed but here is the link.

That's sad news, this sunny Sunday morning. My prayers go out to his family.
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!

That is terrible news. I am so sorry, my condolences to his family and friends. I did not know him, but he was an outstanding modeler, and it appears he touched quite a few lives, including those of us here at The Gauge. May his soul, by the grace of God, rest in eternal peace.

Thoughts and prayers to the family and friends. Great tribute video. He was only 4 years older than I am, way too young...anyone know if he was ill?
