Jim Rawlings, thank you for informing us of Barry's tragic passing.  He is one man who made countless sacrifices to learn, improve upon, and educate us all on the MTH DCS system.  That devotion to the hobby has benefitted every single one of us. 

Whether you knew him or didn't know him, I can tell you that we all have lost a major contributor to our hobby. 

 Rest in peace Barry......

My condolences to his wife and family.

Barry will be missed by this family as well that depending on him to answer tough questions and keep others from wrong opinions of the way DCS operated. He resolved many many issues almost like a judge and he was a teacher too.  I purchased all of his books that went well beyond what was in the instruction manuals and on the forum. I met him at York a few years back while he was giving one of his DCS sessions.  He was an amazing guy.

 

I have been busy posting the news of Barry's passing on other social media sites so am a bit late in getting to this thread. There's really not much I can say, but I have copied and pasted the text I posted on Dottie Perry's Facebook page:

"Sincere condolences to Cora and all Barry's family and friends from the entire staff of O Gauge Railroading magazine. Barry was a frequent and very important contributor to our OGR Online Forum, in particular, and his expertise there will be sorely missed. The books he published about the MTH DCS (Digital Control System) are invaluable resources, and I can honestly say that his comprehensive knowledge of that system is likely irreplaceable. The photo Dottie posted shows Barry examining copies of his popular seller: The DCS O Gauge Companion. Rest in peace, my friend!"
