    Sad to hear of the loss of more experience, expertise and skills from hobby.
    No words help, I know...

    How ironic as I was thinking about him yesterday.
    Thank you Dan for all of the great parts that you made.
    God Bless

    Dan's creativity lives on in his searchlight signal heads. Thank you for a fine product. Godspeed in your new adventures.

    When the plastic signal bridges came out, they were impressive but incomplete. When the signal heads came from sunrise, I was in heaven. We then had signals and bridges equal to any scale. Every so often someone comes along with something that expands the ability of our scale to rival the larger scales, and we all become winners.

    Best detail parts PERIOD. I've missed being able to get the parts for years, and now I miss the creator of such great parts.

    My sympathies to the family of the Founder of Sunrise Enterprises. Kudos to Sunrise for great products. I still have a few Sunrise Enterprises items unopened such as the rotary beacon along with a few other Sunrise items.

    Let's hope that his living relatives can sell this off to someone with a functioning business unlike what happened to N Scale of Nevada.

    The Sunrise items that I have, I’ve resisted opening they’re factory sealed!

    They look a whole lot better on models than in plastic bags.

    He made some custom HO parts that I used too. I sure hope someone can take up the mfg process in his place. We are loosing these craftsmen, and I just hope someone can take it up. Although it seems this whole details mfg process is evolving beyond these guy's wildest dreams.
