Photos from the 2003 Western Prototype Modelers meet (WPM) by Ryan M. Martin / Harry Wong

This WPM 2003 photo album is dedicated to the memory of Pete Solyom, creator and sponsor of the annual Western Prototype Modelers Meets. Pete passed shortly after the 2003 meet. Pete's famous WPM meets are the reason why this album and others before it have existed to inspire and educate the kitbashing masses. Pete is survived by his wife and family. We will let you know as soon as I hear anything regarding funeral arrangements.

WPM, was held again this year on 10.12.03 in La Habra, CA. This year's WPM also included a modular HO layout from the SoCal FreeMo modular group.

Additional information on these models is only available from that particular owner/ modeler. If you do have a question, please feel free to leave it in the comments section.

Once again, thanks to the Solyom family for organizing this awesome annual event. Our prayers and thoughts are with Pete.
