One I've seen often. I can only imagine what Jon or Dave must of said to him to get that look. Thanks for posting it. Mario, thanks to you as well for the video. A very nice remembrance.

George Country: USA | Posts: 9905 motrak New Hire Posted - 08/18/2010 :  5:04:54 PM       That was a very nice video. I met Brian at Cocoa Beach back in 2008. We had a couple of drinks and just talked about modeling. It was great just to listening to him and learn some modeling techniques. I will be going to his funeral service on Saturday.

He was a man with exceptionnal modelling skills. Many thanks to those who knew him better for sharing their memories and pictures. It doesn't make the moment less sad but helps to keep him alive in all our memories. Frederic Testard Country: France | Posts: 16441 k27rgs Fireman Posted - 08/18/2010 :  8:12:40 PM     There were many sides to Brian's life. Many were blessed, to share part of it. Brian. I wish I could be there in person, with your many friends to celebrate your life. So I'ii say Goodbye mate and hope you look over my shoulder occassionally, while I'm at modeling table http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_tributes_to_brian.html http://www.modvid.com.au/html/body_modvid_photo___dvd_.html Edited by - k27rgs on 08/18/2010 8:20:04 PM Country: Australia | Posts: 4257 runner Fireman Posted - 08/19/2010 :  01:50:36 AM     Bags, Rick, Mario and all who have contributed- thank you for sharing and providing such moving photos and tributes. He is smiling knowing he has helped us all be better modelers. Mike Country: USA | Posts: 1066 terry hansley Crew Chief Posted - 08/19/2010 :  10:43:47 AM     I'm going to take the same path as Mario.Wonderful tribute by the way! Brian Thanks for your inspiration,I will think of your modeling as I sit wiling away enjoyable hours at the work bench. When word of your passing came my first action was to stain and distress some strip wood---it just felt right Terry H Country: USA | Posts: 541 Ho Henry Crew Chief Posted - 08/19/2010 :  12:30:56 PM     Being a late bloomer I never had the chance to meet Brian nor view his work,... until now,. He will be missed,. His work will live on through these pages and continue to inspire all. HO Henry Country: USA | Posts: 868 ac35 New Hire Posted - 08/19/2010 :  6:48:44 PM     Thanks for the thread Mario. And thanks to whom ever put Mario's link in our local paper. Many of the firefighters and county employees that worked with Brian never new what an artist was in their midst. Almost everyone has called me and said WOW. I never new until two years ago myself and have known him for over 28+ years. I echo everyone else in saying I will miss him. Ed Country: USA | Posts: 45 polarfred Engine Wiper Posted - 08/19/2010 :  6:58:39 PM     Mario, Thanks for the memories. Brian was such a humble fun loving person, who truly did make you feel like an old friend when you met him. I am proud to have known him. Fred in Orleans Country: Canada | Posts: 394 Matt Gidley Engine Wiper Posted - 08/20/2010 :  5:08:25 PM       I was going to post some pics of Brian's work from CSS07 and noticed that all my CSS07 pages were down. So, I got them all back up and working right. There is a page of pictures of Brian's dioramas. If you go to "gallery" and visit the CSS07 link, you'll see a Brian Nolan page. I'll try to add a bunch more pictures of his excellent work this weekend. I always will remember seeing Brian's work at that show; I had almost never seen such excellent modeling.

The couple in front of me were having a hard time with the cold and when I entered into conversation with them, found out that they lived in Florida, which explained a lot. It wasn't until the first CSS show that I realized I was talking that cold morning with Brian and his wife. Boy do I wish I'd entered into a modeling conversation then, rather than talk about the damn cold. http://modelingin1-87.blogspot.com/ Country: | Posts: 2399 Page: 1 2 3 4 5 of 5 Topic    New Topic |    New Poll |   Reply to Topic |   Printer Friendly Previous Page | Next Page Jump To: Select Forum Railroad Line Administrative Forums       Forum News       Administrative Posts General Forums       The Tour Bus       The Arrival Track       RR-L Member Personal Websites       The Crew Lounge       The Classroom       Interchange Tracks       Rail Events       Reference & Research Model Railroad Forums       The Sn3 Branch       Mike Chambers' Craftsman's Corner       HOn30 and HOn3 Forum       Early Rail Forum       The On30 Line       Railroad Photography Forum       Small Scale Model Railroad Forum       Mid Scale Model Railroad Forum       Large Scale Model Railroad Forum       Logging, Mining, & Narrow minded       Model Railroad Construction       Micro & Mini Layouts       Layout Design / Operation Sig Forum       Startin' from Scratch       DCC, Computers and Electronics for Model Railroads Shop Talk       Vehicle and Non-Rail Transportation Modeling       The Roundhouse       Rolling Stock: the Car Shops       The Diesel Shop Company Store       Railroad-Line Swap Meet       New Product Announcements Fallen Flag Railroad Forums       Erie / Lackawanna Railroad Forum       Raritan River Railroad Forum Railroad Software Forums       Atlas Right Track Software       Railroad Line Software Library Model Railroad Club Forums       The Model Railroad Club Forum Sponsor Forums       Rusty Stumps Scale Models       KingMill Enterprises Railroad Line Weblinks       Badger Creek Lumber Co.       Central Missouri & Southern RR       Raritan River Railroad       Thor's All Gauge Page  -------------------- Home Active Topics Frequently Asked Questions Member Information Search Page Railroad Line Forums © 2000-13 Railroad Line Co.
