i just saw this video and looked him up. what a fascinating man!

Chick was a superb modeler and good friend. I think he holds the record for "quickest" achievement of Master Model Railroader. He did it in one day when the MER held a convention in Harrisburg and his modeling efforts were "discovered." Judges congregated and the result was the required seven achievement awards. The award was well deserved, as his work was superb.

He was great man and the ultimate craftsman! Condolences to Karl, Paul and families.

Valley Railways

I visited Chick's model railroad many times as a member of the Keystone Model Railroad Club when I was younger. His trolley models were all made by hand - mostly from scrap metals such as oil cans and other sheetmetal - and I was just amazed that someone could do something like that. I still remember the “haunted” house on the hill and always appreciated that he was willing to talk to a “youngster” about his work. I still have all of his books on the area's traction lines.

Chick was a fine and accomplished man,the product of a fine and accomplished Family. He will be missed.
