Just yesterday I thought of him, thinking that I hadn’t seen him post in quite a while. I will remember his work particulary The Westport Terminal and his video showing chain link fence gates opening and closing. I was working on a chain link fence at the time,
I always looked forward to seeing his latest work. It was so creative.
God bless you Wolfgang and the Dudler family.
Bob.
Sorry to hear that Wolfgang has departed. I too enjoyed his posts about his Westport Terminal RR. He will be missed by this forum & the model RR community. Rest in peace. I pray for his family & friends.
I too had wondered why we were not hearing more from this expert modeler. Here is just an example of Wolfgang Dudler’s artistry and ability, as preserved on YouTube

There are others. One of the signature features of his videos is the smooth slow speed operation of his models, both the trains and the animation.

Guys,
The news of Wolfgang’s passing is heartbreaking. My condolences to his family and friends.
Don’t forget that Wolfgang made a good number of YouTube videos. I only hope that his family will leave them on YouTube. Here are links to some of them.

Selector,
Please consider posting a similar thread on the Atlas Rescue, MRH, and other forums you’re a member of.
I am literally in shock. Just before popping in here, I read my email, and read about Wolfgang in the LDSIG list. I never met the man, but through conversations in the forum here made him feel like a friend. When Wolfgang posted new photos, you knew you were in for a treat, be it the fine quality of model work or the wonderfully intricate mechanical work like full sound in those tiny critters, or, more often than not, both at the same time.
My condolences to his familky. He will be missed by many.

What sad news he will be missed. My condolences to his family . Here is a link to his web sight
As others have said… Very sad news for the Model Railroad Community.
RIP Wolfgang Duldler, MMR #452! One of the best of the best. I have learned much from his sharing here over the past several years. He will be missed!
My condolences to his family and many, many friends.

Sorry to hear that we have lost another of our great modelers and innovators. I will miss seeing his postings of developments on his pikes. His Westport Terminal videos inspired me to get off the dime and work on my own layout and his work with small locos was really inspiring. He will be missed.

Thats sad to here. Wolfgang was a great modeller and will be missed on this forum.
I was always pleased to see Wolfgang’s name on a post, I knew I was going to see not only some great modeling, but some fine videos as well. One of my favorites was his Westport 44 tonner with a Loksound decoder programmed with R2D2 sound effects
I will miss him.
Hi,
In any ways it’s a very sad news.
I was first in contact whith him about the Freemo organisation, because I wanted to become a menber.
We also exchanged a few mails about handlaid track tips and techniques and also on discussion on MR forums.
I also had the chance to meet him in person at the Rodgau 2011 US convention (Germany-Europe)last autumn and we have speak again about handlaid track; he was very busy whith a freemo Hon3 layout.
It was the only time I meet him , but I remenber a very kindly person whith a open mind about trains models.
May he rest in peace.

He will be missed. [:(] [U]
Sad to hear [:(]
Such sad news. I never met him in person, but he was a wonderful spirit in these forums. My condolences to his family.
Can’t add anything that hasn’t already been said. RIP and my condolences.
I would hope that Kalmbach would at least offer a few kind words in an upcoming issue.
He will be missed. Very sorry to hear that. I got a lot of ideas from his site.
Just in case, save stuff from his site as an HTML document to your PC in case his site goes away. That way you have a permanent record. Maybe someone will keep his site up.
I do that a lot with some personal sites.

I, too, will miss his informative posts. May he rest in peace.

My condolences. He was a great inspiration with his work that we were able to see on this great forum and also on his web site.
Rest in peace.
