Since I had missed the previous Trainstocks I asked Ben (bluelinec4) about what happened to various items from Marty Fitzhenry's layout. He was super nice and he gave me a personal tour of the layout pointing out the structures that made it from Marty's layout to the NJ HiRailers. This isn't a complete list because some of the pictures I took did not come out well but here are some of the structures from Marty's layout:

Pics need a narrative

This is Martys house  It was built by Alex Mallie and presented to MArty at a party at Alex's house   Thats MArty and Lou Caponi on the steps   You would think Corvettes would be easier to find but the three here will  do for now

The row of Ameritowne buildings were above the tracks in the center of Martys layout

The coaling tower was MArtys

The small power station to the left with the New HAven sign was MArtys  The Coal breaker was purchased from Eliot when he decided he didnt like his layout anymore  The LArge station building in the back belonged to CArl Chancy

This is the back of South street station on Martys layout  The four building in the back of it were also MArtys   One of them is a Dunkin Donuts

This station was Martys  It used to have a Merry Christmas sign on it   We placed it here because one of our members was always complaining that we dont have a station on the orange line    We named it Syville station after our esteemed organ player

In my opinion this was the nicest thing on MArtys layout as it has the name of one of my favorite railroads on it

This is the front of South Street station  The four building behind are hidden and reall cant be seen unless your standing in the cutout there   The arched wall and girders in front are also off of MArtys layout  Just behind those reefers we have a cemetary and we plan to put the names of all our deceased club members on the headstones

The movie theater on the end was MArtys   Now playing Von Ryans Express starring Frank Sinatra

This is Martys wall that was signed by so many forum members  I pulled the pictures in there from forum posts and have everybody that signed picture   I see somebodies picture is jumping off the wall on the left   HAve to put that on the list to fix   The big picture with the frame is Mike Wolf  The glare washes that out
