Obituary

Very sorry to announce that Will Campbell passed away last year (August, if I remember correctly). He was very active in 1 inch scale, and ran his 1 inch scale Atlantic at Riverside Live Steamers until he moved further north. He kept to himself quite a bit in the latter years of his life, so it's not too surprising that news didn't spread quickly of his passing.

Through a series of serendipitous events, I was able to purchase Will's live steam collection a couple weeks ago which will be sold over time as I go through everything.

Part of the sale was the original tooling for the original Bagley burner, which will be made available again through EE. There are a number of 4.75 inch projects, rollingstock, drawings, miscellaneous castings, and lots of "jewelry" that will be added to my website over time.
