Eric of "Miniatures by Eric" has passed away

Hi everyone,

This may be of interest to tram modelers here. I just read, via the railwire.net discussion group, about the passing of Eric Courtney, so I am passing along the sad news. A Canadian, Eric was a champion for N scale traction modeling, through his production (as Miniatures by Eric) of cast resin U.S. interurban and streetcar carbodies, working trolley poles, and overhead wire hardware. We owe a lot to him, and he will be missed.

So sorry to hear that.  I have used his brass detail parts for almost as long as I have been a model railroader.  About the only source for Canadian specific details.  Will be missed for sure.
