Alex, I remember when you and I went up to Marty's. You drove to my house in Westchester and then I drove up. It was your first trip there and it had to be like in 2011 or so. It was a fun day. Playing country music. Seems so recent and so long ago. Marty told me many times how much he loved the house you made for him. I'm glad that its going to be in NJ. And I'm really glad to have the stuff you made for me.

John, I loved those Wednesdays. Lunch at Isaac's. But senility strikes. That shot has Jim, Barry, Carl, Dotty, Marty, ????, me, Cora and Alan. Do you recall who's sitting to my right? We'd hit the Museum, do the lunch, go to the train store, go to the Fairgrounds and end up at the DCS dinner.

Skip, so sorry we never made it. We did give it a try though. We're in Somerset, NJ now and was getting my layout further and further along until IDA hit. That's posted here.  https://ogrforum.ogaugerr.com/...c/brats-rr-v2?page=2

No damage to trains, but everything set back a bit. And my back is lousy (can't bend well; compressed disc and deteriorating joints), so everything takes longer than it used to. Not that I was ever that fast anyway.

Hi Gerry

i remember that day like it was yesterday, we had a blast running trains with Marty. It’s a great memory!

I’m honored that the replica of Marty’s home will be displayed on the NJ Hi-railers layout. That’s were it belongs.

Thanks, Alex
