I remember driving out to Ohio and meeting Marty and Dotty there for one of Lionel's sales. Mike, Marty, Dotty and I went to the old TrainAmerica building and removed the sign from in front of the building. I had driven to Ohio and took the sign back to NY. Later I took it up to Marty. Nice to see it coming to NJ.

During that trip, we went to Dave Minarik's store and home. It was great meeting him and seeing how he customized his bikes. Marty took a picture of me on one of the bikes and some of my "friends" got a good laugh out of that.

Thank you Wendy and Dean. Marty always liked the NJHR, and I think he would really be pleased to know so much of his layout ended up there.

Hi Gerry...sorry we never got that chance to take that ride up to see Marty's layout. Marty was always saying he and I  were going to exchange visits. He had mentioned coming to my house after the last Trainstock but wasn't up to it, so we planned for the next one. You and I had planned to take a ride to see him but he was not doing well at the time and we had to cancel. But, I'm happy the NJ Hi-Railers are preserving pieces of the layout and look forward to seeing you guys at Trainstock.
