Hi All,

I am very sad to inform you that Phil Moberg, one of the old veterans of MSTS, has passed away. I just received a notification from his wife. Phil was 67.

He was my first mentor when I was a newbee back in 2004-5, my source for New Haven Railroad models, paint diagrams, etc. His models of New Haven and Boston & Maine passenger equipment in the trainsim.com file library were the only ones I have ever found.

Phil was generous with his time, a pleasure to work with. He also encouraged me to reach out to Gaetan for a proper Alco FA1 for the New Haven, launching a partnership (BLW/ZT) that has been ongoing for nearly 16 years. Phil was also active with the Warehouse Point trolley museum in Connecticut.

Please keep Phil and his family in your prayers.

Rick Franzosa

Yes, 67 is too young to go. Some contributors are starting their best work right about then.

When I first was getting into the hobby I was very happy to discover Phil's work - and look! There's others who like the era of heavyweights and American Flyers too!
