Dave:
One of the biggest concerns I have for the Trainz hobby, having gone through this with the death of Ben Dorsey, is that many content creators have done nothing in the way of providing for disposition of their Trainz content after their death. As many of us content developers are in our 60s or 70s, including me I might add, this is a legitimate concern. Providing for the disposition can be done in a variety of ways (ie; your will, having someone to take care of this stuff when you are gone, posting in the forum in advance, etc).
It was only through a stroke of luck that I happened to try to call Ben just a few days after his death and was able to talk with his family, who did not know me, and get them to agree to allow me to assist them with this regarding Ben's content on the DLS. Ben left no disposition instructions in his will and it looks increasingly likely that because of this all his thousands of meshes will be lost as a result since they are on computer hardware the family planned to sell and they don't know how to deal with the extraction and other technical issues. If I weer closer to his home I would simply go there but unfortunately it is some distance away.
See this link for what I did for me:

BTW there is also a similar one in that same section of the forum covering all of Ben Dorsey's content.
I hope content developers will take the time to address this important issue rather then leaving it to fate/chance. I sure would hate to see someones extensive Trainz content work lost as a result of lack of advance planning.
N3V establishing a mesh repository for those of us who would like to contribute to it, would also be helpful.....
