In memoriam: Model Railroader author John Pryke
John was a great model railroader and a good person. We will miss him.
What a shock! I so much loved his articles. I also liked his model railroad, both the present and previous one. I’ll miss his byline in Model Railroader.
Sorry for your loss, and prayers to his family and friends.
Sorry for your loss.
We will truly miss him !!! He was a good friend and a wonderful modeller !!!
Sorry to hear this. Prayers to his family and friends. I enjoyed his articles and workmanship.
His weathering articles are still the standard by which I judge all others. What a profound loss for the model railroading community. My condolences to his family.
I am truly saddened by John’s passing. His work was an inspiration to me, and I learned a great from John’s articles. My sons and I spent many summer vacations on Cape Cod. John’s New Haven layout brought back many good memories of those trips. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.
John will be missed by many. I most recently had attended two clinics presented by John at two NER/NMRA conventions, one on weathering steam locomotives, and one on an ocean diorama with waves. Both were excellent. John was an excellent modeler, highly detail oriented, and very technically precise. Sincere condolences to John’s family.
I really enjoyed John’s articles. They read smoothly and easily, and I devoured them all, regardless of topic. I would have enjoyed meeting him. My sympathies to his family.
