Reply to "Meeting some of the great layout builders, including Marty Fitzhenry, Dave Connolly, John Coy, and Steve Nelson via DVD"

Marty's layout is amazing; photos don't do it justice. I had the opportunity to visit his home several times over the last 3 years and each time I saw / learned something new. I have a doctor appt. every 6 months in Boston, and afterward, I would stop to visit Marty & Dotty before heading for home. I would email him a few days before coming to Boston to ask if he would be around, and he would always say, "Yes. Come by." 

Upon walking down the stairs into his train room, you are immediately surrounded by the layout and trains, and it was very easy to feel Marty's enthusiasm and passion for our hobby. He truly was larger than life. I'm going to miss what became my "regular" visits with him and Dotty, and it makes me sad to know he is gone and the lights in his train room are off. 

While Marty is no longer with us, Paul's suggestion to get the videos that feature him is a great way to keep his memory alive. The TM Toy Train Revue #5 from 2015 is another must-have DVD if you want to see Marty & his layout.
