Re: Very Sad News
Agree. I personally only met Art twice. Very sociable to all, great to talk too, even as strangers and common interests, we immediately received an open invitation to visit with him when in UK. Enjoyed reading his regular emails, input and thoughts. A true world wide ambassador for the small scale live steaming groups, he will be greatly missed, and never forgotten. Deepest sympathies to his wife and family. Tony D.

RE: Very Sad News
That is truly sad news. I had met Art at one of the Midwest Steam-ups, and he seemed to be both knowledgeable and friendly. He was very willing to share what he knew, and he always seemed to be having fun.

Group, As I recall Erv was among the first with an all 16 mil gauge 0 steam layout in the US. His garden line was one of the layouts featured in West Lawn's (Pete Olson) video on Garden Railways that was produced in the 1980s. Gary Broeder
Re: Sad News
A real shock to say the least. Thanks in advance for keeping us informed of arrangements. He will be greatly missed. Trent

Re: Sad News
Dear Keith, I am saddened to learn of George Murray's death. When I was a teenager trying to find a small live steam locomotive, I wrote to him concerning the purchase of an O gauge Neff Atlantic which he had advertised for sale in "The HO Monthly". Over the years, I collected copies of "The Live Steamer"which I still pull out and read from time to time. I had correspondence with him several years ago concerning the smaller gauge live steamers and he was able to fill in many of the gaps in the history of their development. George was a giant in our hobby and will be missed. Nick Wantiez Keith Taylor wrote:

It is with a very heavy heart that I must pass on the following. This past Sunday, Feb. 4th, 2001 saw the passing of one of the Live Steam hobby's pioneers. George Murray, at age 92 succumbed to illness that had palagued him most of his adult life. While many do not remember him these days, George was the publisher of the very first all Live Steam magazine in the USA. For two years, 1950 and 1951, George wrote published and edited, singlehandedly, the magazine "The Live Steamer." He was an ardent modeler who had almost 100 locomotives pass through his shop. He had built entirely many locos, finished many that had been brought to him in buckets and did the final tuning and trouble shooting to countless others. His list of friends was a who's who of the hobby. The late L.B.S.C. (L. Lawrence) was a house guest of his. Carl Purinton, the founder of the IBLS and Bill Van Brocklin were among George's closest friends. George had written correspondance with literally hundreds all over the world. His interests included all scales from "0" and No. 1 gauges up to 7-1/4" gauge. He was particularly fond of the smaller gauges and was one of the few proponants of 1/2" scale 2-1/2" gauge right up until his death. He was engaged in building a 3/4" scale model of the New York Central and Hudson River Railroad's 999 at his passing. I, amongst his countless friends, will miss him greatly. Another of the Icons of our hobby has left us! Sincerely, Keith Taylor Secretary, East Coast USA Region IBLS
