It is like a punch in the gut to know that the creator of such a masterpiece has passed. I am so glad you were able to meet him and help share this work of art with us all. R.I.P. Tim

Rest in peace, Tim. We all miss you. Thank you for the impact you had on our favorite hobby.

As a non modeller this layout is mind blowing. I have no idea how you could conceive and build such a thing. The narration and filming does justice such a wonderful piece of art.

RIP Tim and what a beautiful Model Railroad Legacy he left us !!!

I was very heavily inspired by Tim's Layout, I never had the chance to meet him but his work always got the creative fire burning. It is sad to hear of his passing but his layout and work will always stay with me

I first met Tim in Kindergarten at Sunflower Elementary School in Glendora. I don't remember our first conversation, but I'm sure it involved trains. Tim gave me my love of trains and model railroading (and my first kitten!). He opened his heart and house to so many model railroaders. He is greatly missed. R.I.P. my friend...

Dang. So sad to hear of Tim's passing. He was definitely a master of his craft and his beautiful layout really does the Pacific Division justice. I wasn't around in '76, but I really feel like I'm transported back there when I see this layout.

How beautiful! I have always loved this layout and it has been one of my biggest inspirations. R.I.P. Tim.

RIP Tim.. Great video of a great layout.

I love this layout. I watch several videos of it. My heart is heavy to hear of Tim’s passing. RIH😢😢

Very sad to hear of Tim’s passing of pancreatic cancer. He was a great modeler and a great friend of model railroading. God bless Tim and my thoughts are with his family and friends.

Yes RIP Tim. Thanks, it was a pleasure to meet you and operate on your beautiful railroad. Frank Kenny.

So sad to hear of his passing. What a great model railroader and former railroader. The hobby will surely miss a man of his talents. I hope his grand layout that was his pride and joy can be preserved in some kind of fashion. God bless his family. Tim G

Tim was a great modeler but an even better person! I was fortunate to meet him and visit his layout. All green signals ahead Tim, RIP!

This layout is one of the best I’ve seen. Tim rest in peace and fly high. You not only inspired me but inspired my fictional bn layout called the Florence Subdivision of Florence North Dakota

So sorry to hear of Tims passing. I always enjoyed watching his videos. Rest in peace dear friend.

What a great layout. Sorry to hear of Mr. Tim's passing. Sending his loved ones and friends prayers.

Truly one of the greatest layouts of all time

I absolutely love how the early feel of BN was captured by Tim with the eclectic lash-ups of power needed to get tonnage over the road. A truly great layout.
