Long time former WMRC member Roger Wood passed away on September 7, 2024 at the age of 92. Roger had a truly impressive layout which literally went from floor to ceiling, which was one of the highlight of the 1983 NMRA national convention held in Winnipeg.

Roger was born in Leamington, Ontario. He was one of three members of the WMRC, along with Neil Carleton and Moe Smith, who worked at the CBC.

Roger was also a licensed pilot. He also built remote-controlled model aircraft. In his later years, he turned his attention to building elaborate Lego models of every description.
