Reply to "Jim Tuohy, early partner with Tom McComas in TM Books & Video, passes"

It's seems like every week I am hearing of someone passing. I guess that happens when you are 89. I have all their books. How old was Jim? I am in one of his video's "Toy train revue" spring 1991.

Obit link says he was 85.

I'm not sure I have any of the books, but like others have mentioned, that series of 6 Great Toy Train  Layouts videos was a great product.  I remember buying the VHS versions at the old "Great Train Store" franchise that was in the mall across from where I started my first job almost 23 years ago.  (I've since bought the DVDs when they were released as a set).  Those were probably some of the first videos I bought, and got me hooked on them as I was getting into O Gauge at that time. 

Over the years I continued to buy pretty much any new video under the TM brand (as well as the OGR ones, of course ), and certainly remember the name in the credits, even if I never met James Tuohy in person.

Sorry to hear of his passing.  He and Tom have had a great impact on the hobby with the books and videos over all these years.
