bbishop Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) I regret to inform you that Tony Adams (TonyA of this parish) died about ten days ago. He had been generally unwell for a while and was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease about eight months ago. The disease progressed with awful rapidity, Tony was hospitalised before Christmas and gently died a week ago Sunday. The funeral is on Wednesday 5 February. Tony was especially interested in the railways of Germany and military railways. He built Nürnberg Winkelhof in HO set in Epoche 2; this was a shunting puzzle located in the scrag end of the engine shed. It was exhibited around South East England. He provided information to Mike Christiansen for the history of the Longmoor Military Railway and built an inglenook layout in OO, which was exhibited occasionally. He was also brave enough to operate my layouts. Bill Bishop Edited January 23, 2020 by bbishop umlaut 16 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.A.T.Ford Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I'm completely stunned by this news. Tony was one of lifes true gentlemen, a pleasure to meet and so generous with information and help. CAT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wainwright1 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 This is starting to get very depressing, obituaries for two people I knew in two days. First John Sneyd and now Tony Adams. I saw Tony with his LMR layout on several occasions and discussed the operations of the Longmoor Military Railway with him. He was a very knowledgeable and informed source now sadly lost. I can only echo the condolences expressed by Bill and Colin RB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColinW Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Thank you for informing me yesterday, at the Tonbridge exhibition, of Tony's passing. It was a shock to hear the sad news. Condolences to his family. Colin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold tetsudofan Posted April 22, 2020 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 22, 2020 Saddened to hear the news, saw Tony at the 2019 Tonbridge Show and he wasn't the person I knew when we were helping on Bill's layout. As CAT has said Tony was a true gentleman and a pleasure to meet and work together with on Bill's layout. Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
