I am so sorry to have read the unfortunate announcement, and Z-scale train modeling will miss one of the greatest train modelers, ever. For everything you have researched, designed, and shared with the Z-scale community I thank you Mr. Smith.

I thought he was dead there for a moment when I read your post. Whew! I'm pleased to see that is not so.
Better buy up all these quality bits and pieces before they disappear forever.

A Great Big Thank You, David, and hopes that N will be just as much fun. You have done so much to advance Z, from inspiring newbies to challenging oldies.

My thanks and my respect to the man who single-handedly pulled me back into Z scale with his bright imaginative approach and his utterly contagious enthusiasm.
I am especially sorry to hear about the health issues, and I wish DKS all the best. That Z is not an ideal scale to work with under such circumstances is all too obvious.
I hope the souring towards the scale will pass, and I do hope that N scale will rekindle DKS's enthusiastic ingenuity.
Thanks for too many things to mention.

I am glad that David is still fighting his problems and is continuing on with Model Railroading. He has given us so much in his writings that it will take me a long time to digest everything that he has given us even though I have read almost all of it once. You have read it a second time and third and forth and etc to appreciate his writings. And for those of us that were able to view his final work realize his special skills in giving us a realistic view because he started from what we see in our everyday lives and shrunk it down to give us a perception that our brain could would accept and think it was real.
Again Thank you David for that you gave us while you were in Z scale

DKS,
Your genius will forever be enshrined in the history of Z scale. Green signals and clear rails.

Thank you DKS, your modelling skills are an inspiration to all. I am really saddened to hear of your health issues and can understand the need to move to a larger scale. I wish you all the best.
