Looking good Marty my friend!

Looks like a good time was had by all.

You guys are looking good, see you at York. Hope you  all had fun.

Looks like you guys had a great time!!

The layouts look great!

Alex you better not tell Dobie and Rocky know you were petting a cat! Lol!!

Mike R

Now I really have to paint the Jets on that wall if you allowed Alex to cover my name 

One of these days I am going to get to sign that wall!!!...  You three look a little like....lets see....uhmm.....where have I seen three guys that look like you....uhmmmm......AH YES...!!  The three stooges!!! 

 

OK...had to have a little fun.  Glad to see all four of you get together...this is what the hobby is about!!

 

Alan

Excellent! Looking forward to seeing you guys at York

Alan, I have a spot reserved for you.

Only makes scence to me for Alex to cover Ben's name on the wall, probably takes up to much room anyway :-)

Marty looks like you guy's were enjoying the day. Hope you will post more pictures of Carl's layout . Thank you.

Sean do you think Marty's wall has "word wrsp" just for Ben?

What a great way to spend a day in New England. Visit Marty & Carl's train layout and then over to Charles Ro. Welcome to New England Gerry & Alex. Next time stop over in Rhode Island.

Good morning all,

 

First I want to thank the OGR forum because If it wasn't for this forum I wouldn't have

met such wonderful friends. Even the members I haven't met in person yet. You all are wonderful people.

 

Now I want to thank Marty & Dotty for having me at there home to see a beautiful layout and my new friend Ralph the cat.Marty & Dotty took us to Carl Chancey's home to see his awesome layout, then we when to Charles Ro which is the best hobby shop I've ever seen. To end my wonderful day I also stopped by Gerry Moritz's home to see his great layout. What a great day to see three layouts and one awesome hobby shop with nice people and lets not forget Ralph the cat.

 

Ben my great friend of course you know we didn't spray over your name. You always tease the people you really like.

 

So again I thank Marty, Dotty, Gerry, Carl, Charles Ro,OGR, and of course Ralph the cat, for a wonderful day.

 

THANKS, ALEX          THIS IS WHAT IT'S ALL ABOUT

 

Here's a lot of photos I took yesterday of everyone's layout. Enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good looking group and great layouts!

Marty & Dotty are the quintessential wonderful hosts to Forum members who are fortunate enough to visit their fabulous layout.

 

Alex, thank you for the photo tour of your visits yesterday. It gives us all a glimpse of your fun filled day.

It is amazing how much talent some people have!

Guy's,

 

Had to post on this again.

 

These are the things that make this forum great. Most people think of the stereotype when they think of modelrailroaders. Like we're loaners and hangout in basements and garages. Oh yea, we also don't shower. LOL!

 

But things like this show we are not, and can and are a very social animal.

 

The layout pictures are terriffic, Alex thank for posting them.

 

I know they had a great time yesterday even though I wasn't there. Alex was texting back and forth with me all day. Also, he was texting me pictures like crazy. So I know he was enjoying himself with the guy's and Ralph. I just wish I could've went with them.

 

Great Thread!

Hi Marty & Dotty. I would like to thank both of you for being such wonderful hosts. I had a great time.

 

Carl, it was really great to see you and see your layout again. It is truly spectacular and it was lots of fun running the trains.

 

Sean, I am amazed at the talent some of the people have with layouts. I certainly don't have it, but I have fun anyway. One of the great things about this hobby is that all different things are welcome. I'm much more of a 50's type guy -- put it on green plywood and let it run.

 

Captain John -- hopefully next time. It was nice seeing you the last time.

 

Mike R -- Alex was a great passenger. He put up with my driving and both of us are into country music. So for you Southern guys, here we are zipping from NY to Boston and back listening to Shania, Toby, Martina, Alan Jackson, Hank Williams (Sr., not Jr.), Patsy Cline, etc. Talking trains and cars.

 

WHAT A GREAT DAY.

 

Gerry

 

 

hi Guys,  thanks for sharing pictures and the humor!  Its made my day more enjoyable!

 Ditto, for me too.

 I've never seen pics of Charles Ro layout before. All the layouts look great. I'm especially keen on that diesel shelf of Carl's. I'm seeing some ACes!!

Yeah baby!! Fire 'em up.

Looks like you guys were able to convert Marty

 

 

OH BOY!!!!!!!!!!!

WAIT UNTIL MARTY SEE'S THIS

 

 

Alex

Marty just saw it.  Ben, you know what they say about pay back   Good one.  I can pitch very well with the best of them but I can also catch. 

You know there are really some times I wished I lived up near you guys so I could visit your train layouts.  But then on the other hand we haven't had any appreciable snowfall for the past 2 years.  And could I really learn at this old age to root for the Yankees or Patriots?

 

As Emily Litella used to say, "Nevermind".

Thank you Marty and Alex for sharing your wonderful experience and for the great pictures!

 

Looking forward to seeing you all next October at York (won't be able to make it in April . . .)

 

Alex

prrbill, you and all OGR forum members have an open invitation to stop by and visit anytime. Everyone is welcome to run trains and have fun. I have had many forum members stop by and run trains they have with them from home. Members from Canada and California have stopped by often. I have several other layouts close to visit while in the area. Carl Chancey is a short drive as well as Dave_C. Dave has a highly detailed layout. Carl's layout is also a highly detailed layout. My layout is a toy train layout with scale trains.

 

Many people like to visit Charles Ro while in the area. Recently a great club has become a top attraction in the area. The Boston Metro Hi Railers. This is a fantastic club with some high end members.  They are currently doing some fantastic scenery.  I love to stop by and admire the quality of the workmanship.  April 6, they have an open house.  They are located in Willmington, Mass.

Marty, thanks for the promo above...  we at BMHR really appreciate it...  I hope all Forum members who can make it come to the Open House...  Nick and crew are doing a great job on ths scenery...

 

By the way, may I sign your wall the next time I visit??

 

 

 

Come on. You know how to make that happen.
