HARM Member Passing

On Monday, July 29, 2024, HARM lost a long standing member of the group in Stephen Fisher. Steve had been a member since about 1992 when he lived in Hartford County, MD. He spent the last several decades of his life with his wife Charlyn in Kennedyville, MD on the eastern shore. At this residence, he built several versions of his Deep Run Railroad. From On30 to an “unusual” scale of 3/8n40. He was also a pioneer in converting his layout from running on DC track power to dead rail with batteries and wireless receivers in the locomotives. Steve was a master of scratch building structures, most often without any formal plans and just positioning walls together until they “looked good”. Much of his work has been featured in model railroading magazines and can be found elsewhere on this website. He had a wonderful sense of humor and lived life to the fullest.
