I didn't know Marty, personally, but had the pleasure of his feedback on some of my posts.  

Same here.

My layout will never be nearly as nice as Marty's, and I currently don't have plans for catenary.  But I do have a few MTH electrics that I may run once in a while.

I also have a couple of Williams conventional scale GG1s I run at National Capital Trackers shows.  These rather poor pictures are from the Kids Fairfax show back in 2017.

Well the Yard box cab, old 520, is putting those old Harrimans left on the depot tracks from the Savannah RR club steam fan trip back out to pasture.  Need room for those commuter trains on their way in this Monday morning.

I didn't know Marty, but from all the tributes from the rest of you fellows, I am sorry that I did not.  My condolences to his family and it certainly seems OGR Forum has lost a good friend.

DAVE NYC HUDSON PRRK4, thanks for posting those beautiful pictures of your S2 Electric Locomotive, looking great. I’ve been looking for this thread for a couple of days. Here’s to our friend Marty, who is now gathered with his family in Heaven. Happy Railroading 36E7AAC5-4F7F-40B5-B7DA-CDCCD00F6E9C59420226-3203-4C9D-B9AC-FFD7A527FA7FBA9F7D02-4719-4DB6-B338-4472F7711B6C

No problem Larry, I just wish I had gotten a chance to know Marty. I had seen him at York and began following him on the forum. Alas, I missed out.

Thank you NYC DAVE, you are right, I talked with Marty over the phone, and saw him at York and actually said hi to him, he said hi, and that I loved his layout on the OGR Videos. A quick hi and thank you and by.  His influence in our Hobby will linger for many years, like many others that have past on before him. This thread is really a wonderful tribute to him. I’m glad to participate. JOE KRASKO, thanks for posting those nice electrics, unique. DOHERTYNJ, Nice New Jersey Transit Diesel electrics, nice layout, put some pictures of your layout on the forum. TRUMPTRAIN, I like your Electrics, neat engines, super layout. Everyone have a great rest of the week. 0250C39A-26CB-47FA-BA12-C87BDC710708

A repeat of a favorite picture of mine. But not taken under the cat. It was taken in Marty's living room about 10 years ago. Some guy holding a custom painted MTH premier GG1. It eventually made it to Marty's basement and ran under the cat.

Pink GG1 and Mike Wolf 01

Good story & great engine Gerry. I have seen that guy holding it around, but I just never seem to be able to get into a conversation with him, always busy talking with others.

The GG1 arrived today.  It runs like a top!

A real Pennsy beauty, Mark... now you definitely need to get back to work on the layout  

Thank you Paul and Larry!!

I was just discussing this morning with Mike G on PM that an obstacle came up while I have been out of action with my knee replacement.  Mike and I both agree on a general solution.  I just need to think it out a little more before posting on the Forum for comment.
