It is with great sadness that I have to report that Jim Reising of the N Scale Oakville Sub fame passed away yesterday morning. Jim was looking forward to hosting N Scale Enthusiast convention bus tours....in fact, he and his wife Nancy delayed selling their home when Covid delayed the convention until this year. The Oakville Sub was one of the finest model railroads in the country and many from all over the world followed his its construction and various projects through regular updates posted by Jim on this forum and others.
