Roy C Link - RIP


 

Friends,

New has just reached me that Roy C Link died yesterday.
At present I have no further details, though his friends knew that Roy had not been in the best of health for several years.

We have lost an irreplaceable talent and, for many of us, an irreplaceable friend.

A great loss to our hobby.? Roy has been an inspiration to me from the 1970’s and has always been very helpful and indulgent of my average modelling.? My sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to his family and friends.? This must be a really difficult time, made harder by the continued lockdown in England.

?

Adrian has summed it up perfectly, we have indeed lost an irreplaceable talent.

I was waiting until Roy's widow had contacted family etc. Here is our announcement:

A loss indeed. Though I never spoke to him directly I would often see him at expong and his work and words through the years has always been a delight, while his name linked to anything would be an indicator of excellence. Condolences to his family and to those who knew him personally. He was one of the best.

Deeply saddened to hear this. It was Roy's inspirational writing and his RCL range that helped steer me in the direction of narrow gauge when I returned to the hobby in my 30s. Rest in peace and condolences to his family and friends.?

With best wishes from Sweden,? George.?

This is truly sad news - several of us here in Canada are great admirers of Roy, his approach, and the Review. He has certainly left an enduring legacy.

Very sad news. I have every issue of the Review and provided lettering for the station on the outdoor Copper Beech line.

RIP Roy

I stood open-mouthed at his work. ?Rarely does artistic talent and mechanical skill combine so prodigiously. ?He will always be a master storyteller of things industrial and railway.

I've just updated the cover photo to show off his exquisite NG Sand & Gravel in O14 of course.
