Thanks to everyone for the very kind remarks for Scott. He was my brother. It's still hard to believe he's still not with us.
I know he really enjoyed model steam engines (sorry if I'm not calling them correctly). I actually remember as kids, him having one. Many years passed where he didn't have one, but then he got back into the hobby a decade or two ago. He had a number of engines in his dining room, and proudly displayed them. I could certainly see the interest and fascination with them.
Whatever led up to his passing, he apparently started selling off his collection in preparation. I did not find out about that until he left.
Thank you again for all the wonderful comments. Yes indeed: the loss of a True Gentleman.
