Walter Brown was one of the original Founders of the Eastbay Model Engineers Society in Emeryville, CA. He built electric and Live Steam models in 1/4" scale, O-gauge. He was also a member of the Golden Gate Live Steamers and built a stunning model of a Southern Pacific 0-6-0 switch engine in 1-inch scale in polished brass and a 1/2" scale model of NYC # 999. He owned the Industrial Gear & Machine Works at 5th & Alice Streets in Oakland, CA. Walter Brown & Vic Shattock were co-chairmen of the NMRA's Live Steam Standards Committee in the 1940-1945 time slot.
