Title: Does anybody know Alan Cox
Post by: DesertHound on November 10, 2015, 11:45:15 AM
Hi All

Apologies for this off-the-cuff thread, which I'm happy to be deleted by the mods after I've exhausted this line of enquiry.

Does anybody know / have contact with Alan Cox, possibly from Swansea.

I'm not looking for phone numbers or personal details, perhaps just an e-mail address via PM. I was having a clear out and came across some station platforms he kindly sent to me almost nine years ago. I'd just like to thank him again.

Kindest

Daniel

Daniel,

I suggest you read Alan's post about half-way down this page. http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=22054.60 (http://www.ngaugeforum.co.uk/SMFN/index.php?topic=22054.60)

Very sadly Alan lost his wife to Cancer last week, and so Etched Pixels is currently dormant until Alan feels up to reviving it.

I'm sure he'll let us all know when he is ready to restart his life and business.

Regards

Neal.

Thank you for the information. I had no idea it was etched pixels, and neither did I know of this awful news.

Alan was kind enough to send me some platforms quite some years ago and I came across them recently and they are finally going to be used. I just wanted to use the forum to try and make contact (to say thank you) with someone as all I had was a name.

I shall wait until a more appropriate time.

My condolences to Alan and family.

Daniel

As the OP has an answer to his original question and in view of the fact there is an extensive thread re Alan´s sad loss I´ve locked this topic.
