Hello all,
Its sad to say,but one man that brought MOW vehicles to HO scale,has passed on to the big switch yard in the sky.He will be missed, along with his products.Hopefully his products will remain in production,who knows ?

I’ve read somewhere that his family intends to continue on with the business, but assume they would just be reissuing previous material.
I was quite shocked to hear of Bob’s passing several months ago. He dropped in to see me twice quite some years ago when passing though the area to visit relatives in Nova Scotia. I last saw him at a train show in Nova Scotia several years ago. I carried on some correspondence with him, often kidding him about some of the minor problems with his kits, and his spelling errors. Bob didn’t use the computer, so it was always by snail mail.
RIP Bob Rzasa

For those that are unaware, Bob’s company was/is Custom Finishing. In addition to the MOW models of more recent years, he had been creating and producing many loco detail parts for many years especially those for ALCo locomotives. He will be sorely missed by us ALCophiles.
Custom Finishing has/had a great line of detail parts. Hopefully someone will continue the line.
Guys like Bob are the ones that help all of us take our modeling to the next level.
Bob,
Thanks for your efforts. You’ve made modeling for at least one person on this world much more rewarding.
