Steam Locomotives
Morris Minors
and Roy :-

are unique items that have made Britain a much nicer place.

really sad news, a lot of experience of Roy will be missed, and his humor too

Wish his family all the best for this coming time.


as my late dad was a big morris (and steamengine) fan, his funeral 3 weeks ago looked like this;[frame][/frame]

would be a great thing for Roy too !

AND he was a Vegetarian to boot!!

We shouldn't hold that against him

Thought you might like to see the loco in steam at Bo'ness (where Roy was a driver) on Saturday with a tribute on the smoke box door.[frame][/frame]

Sad news indeed. Messageboard will be a much quieter and less fun place now.

Roy
A real gent and a great guy with a treasure trove of knowledge which he shared generously.
Your couldn't buy another one like him " off the shelf ".

Very sad news about Roy who lost his brave battle with cancer which he had for sometime but never complained .Bmc will be sadly missed on the forum for his great knowledge and informative help and great delivery. Rip Roy and my thoughts are with your family at this very sad time .

Such sad news. It seems the signalman finally gave his 'Right Away' but it is right that we pause for a moment and acknowledge the tremendous contribution Roy made to our community.

I agree that it would be entirely fitting that there should be a Roy Allingham Prize for Best Working (or Everyday) Minor to be presented at the National Rally.

So sad reading about Roy's passing.

RIP my friend.

Hi Folks,

Ray Newell, Secretary of the MMOC sent the following message to Roy's widow on Monday:

Can I, on behalf of the MMOC, pass on to you our sincere condolences on the recent passing of your husband, Roy.

As you already know, Roy was a prolific poster on the MMOC Forum, as well as other fora. On our forum alone he posted well over 50,000 times over his many years as a member of the group. I’m not sure that anyone has posted more times than Roy did.

Whilst his advice was sometimes typically Scottish - short and to the point - his wisdom and expertise were shared widely and I know there are many who valued his opinions and advice. He will be very sorely missed by us all.

A nice gesture.

i'am glad they sent a nice message to his family..
that is the least they could do to such a wise and helpful chap.
R.I.P roy.....

About half way down with a picture of the man himself having a beer. Said in his own words.

That's a good picture

It's not only here he will be missed, AC Dodd put a condolences message on Facebook and got responses from several Mini forums, Roy will be sorely missed in many places.

Makes you wonder how he attained the post count he did when he was on so many other forums too, a legend

Yes, absolutely.

I couldn't find a message on the mini forum I frequent and I know Roy has 10,000 post on there, so I started a topic.
He seems to have got a lot of enjoyment out of helping people get their motors back on the road.

Thanks to the people who put pictures or links up, It really is nice to put a face to the name, I looked at a post today and roys name was ther from a while back and it was nice to feel he was still around and giving advice.
