Rest in peace, my friend.

I took the liberty to add Charlie's Bing Poppet Valve tribute to Scott.

Thanks Dan, for posting this nice addition, with a personal touch, to Scott's table!

Thanks Charlie ... I was hoping you'd put those up here!
NICE!!!
Thank you Daniel.
The large Marklin 4158/11/94 in Gil’s video is now owned by me. Gil sold it to Scott. Scott traded it to Brent. And I brought it from Brent. It stayed in the family and will always remind me of Scott. I will be making a road trip in the second half of March to pick it up from Brent.

I always thought that this big Doll traction engine was something special, and regret that he didn't hook up the drive chain and chase it around for us some!

Scott certainly did specialize in some very nice and uncommon engines.

Such a sad loss that I'm sure we all feel far too deeply to properly express!

what a lovely thing to do

Well guys, I have no photos to post but still can't get over his loss. There's hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him. He last visited here in October and had a sandwich with us before hitting the road again. We kept in contact weekly and then almost daily over the past year when I've been working on this big Marklin machine shop. Scott wanted to know every detail of its restoration which I shared with him. When it's done I'm dedicating it to his memory and am so sad he could not have lived a little longer to see it finished. This leaves a big hole in my heart as I'm sure it does with many of you as well. My only regret is that we didn't take photos together on any of his visits. Enjoy the show Scott.
Thank you for sharing that Brent, you have good memories of Scott. I had planned on taking a trip to Texas before covid and was really looking forward to the chance of meeting Scott. Had always hoped he could make it to one of the shows as well.

Over the past couple of years, I ended up with a small collection from Scott... I was always impressed that Scott was able to let go of such nice engines in the process of improving his personal collection. The Bing was very hard to get out of his hands... I knew he was going to sell it, then he went to fire it up one last time and found a leaky sight glass. If you’ve received an engine from Scott, you know it arrived ready to run. He ended up fixing the sight glass and fell back in love with the engine and it was nearly a year later that he finally let it go. :)
Today I had a special steam up of all 3 engines from him, this ones for you Scott! I hope if anyone else has an engine in their collection from him that you can fire it up this weekend and share a video with us.

I've watched Scott's visit to the Munich Toy Museum Spielzeug Museum countless times -

Scott, you are very much missed and will be always missed my friend.
I always admired your very cool system that you had to clamp down your accessories. One of the best systems that I've seen.

We lost Scott on February 3rd, an event that gutted us all.
He was a great friend of mine, a great friend to our hobby and to all whose lives he touched.
I feel blessed to have known him for a far too short several years.
He was one of the finest human beings I have had the privilege to know.
Scott was a truly good man.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In his honor, and and to share our memories and some of his, I am opening this table as one for all who wish to can participate in by just writing something or sharing some of his pictures and videos.
Here is Scott's YouTube channel:

While browsing through I very quickly found a few of my favorites.

This one brings fond memories as it went to Scott directly from the Office of Steam.

And this is just an amazing trifecta of the 512 Doll series.

Here is Scott's 3rd video of this Jensen #50 from the Glenn Reid auction.
A wonderful machine that ran and looked better than before on each of these videos.

Here's a great Wiggers Stirling Cycle Engine with a WEJCO Workshop.
