    Well known on the U.K railway modelling scene for his Japanes Z gauge Shinkansen (Bullet Train) layouts Chris sadly lost his long battle with illness and passed away recently. He had been working on a new layout based on the Santa Fe in Arizona and was due to exhibit it for the first time at a couple of local shows but sadly didn't make it. He had not responded to my emails for some time which made me worry that he was not O.K

    he had also acquired a very good selection of AZL stock to run on it

    Simon from Furness Models is helping his widow find a new home for it

    and hopefully we can find someone who will give the layout the exposure it deserves

    our condolences go out to his wife and family

    My condolences to the family and friends of a fellow Z-scaler.

    Hopefully they will find someone to carry on his layout legacy and let the world see his creativity. Looks like a nice little layout.

    RIP Chris
