Wayne made a post on Elvas regarding to Andre's passing, I'm forwarding what was posted there into here...

Sad news indeed ...

https://okwnews.com/...ies/andre-ming/

It is reported on the MRH Forum that Andre passed away from complications following heart surgery.

Andre is known here for the V-Scale web site, the Ozark Northern route, the Colorado Midland, the North Arkansas route and others.

Very sad.

I was hoping his Alco route would be the next released to the file library.

Very sad indeed.

Robert, Andre wished that when he passed away, that his works would be distributed freely.

From: https://trainsim.com/forums/forum/op...26#post2331726

This would be a good time to again make it general knowledge that upon my passing, any and all of my works are free to be uploaded/modified/redistributed/whatever without restriction.

I would let his family, once they have had time to grieve and pay their respects, know of his wishes regarding his MSTS content so it is not lost to time.

Of course, not until the family has had sufficient time to process what they're currently going through.

Of course, my apologies, they need time to grieve and pay their respects.

Amen indeed. Rest in peace old friend.

I was thinking not too long ago how great it would be to either make the Ozark Northern Open Rails compatible or build it in Trainz. The route belongs in the MSTS hall of fame.

Andre was also very helpful with questions I sent his way. He will be greatly missed.

Hi Folks,

Wow - yeah - we're all just dust in the wind... His work inspired me to attempt my first model. Fair winds and following seas - Andre...

Signals clear and hi-ball, Andre...

WOW....... Very sad to hear. Around a decade ago a model of a station I made for old MSTS caught his interest. He asked if I could do some modifications to the model. He wanted a straight platform and not the curved one that I had on the model. I made the adjustments and sent it to him. I was honored he liked my work. He was going to use my model for one of his routes and I can't recall which one it was.....
