Death of Fred Ellis

- Sadly, Fred Ellis, the owner of Power Model Supply was killed a few years ago in an explosion. The explosion also destroyed the building where his inventory was kept. As someone who often visited with Fred, I assure you we lost a not only a valuable supplier but a faithful hobbyist as well. He was a master machinist and built much of the specialized inventory he sold. As far as I know, no one sells the casting for either the Bill Harris Steam Roller, Donkey Engine or the Falk Locomotive. If so, I sure would like to know. I still need the cylinders for the Falk and it will be complete.
Sale of Patterns

- Someone is selling a rather large lot of Power Model Supply patterns on Ebay. Looks like a bunch of Heisler patterns, also stuff for the Mich Cal shay, feed pump stuff, etc.
Mike Venezia replied that he purchased the patterns:
