Eddie G pays a visit.

Eddie looks younger and younger every day. It must be all of the York Meets that keeps him young. Good reason for going.

 

Eddie is a great guy and a real asset to our hobby. Nice to see his signature on Marty's wall. Very deserving.

Marty,

   Great stuff hope you guys had a fantastic time running trains, another fine addition to your wall.  One thing however, being a die hard Pittsburgh Steelers guy, that Patriots Shirt is very offensive apparel, that is unless you own a Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl Train, the Bus flat car must be included, then you can wear a small  hidden Patriots insignia, On Your Back Side. 

Just joking buddy hope all is well up north!

I like the license plate!

Looks like all had a good time (which I'm sure they did). I'm sure Marty is a great host. But, he sure looks a lot different in that last picture, wouldn't have known who that was without the name tag...Must be the lighting or camera angle?   Eddie should get a free pass to York with that license plate, and a parking spot right near the front door too!

The secret to Eddie's youthful looks is he is a dog lover. It's a well-known fact that guys who love dogs are destined to look younger and live longer.

Allan,

    You bet!

Always great when good friends come to visit.

Very nice. Got to get up there some day.

Allan, you are on to something here!!!!! 

Wow, I have two dogs. I must be a teenager again!

 

Looks like a great time Marty! With all the celebrity signatures you're accumulating you should consider endowing that wall to the Smithsonian.

 

And as far as Allan commants about dog lovers I have to agree

Am I seeing right...2 Marty Fitzhenrys???????   WHAAAAA!?!?!?

 

Will the real Marty Fitzhenry please stand up.  Or just raise your hand.

Last picture from Eddie was show snow over his window, dog must have tunneled him out.

WOW EDDIE, you got me beat by practicing with MARTY's name tag for YORK.  Way to go.  Now I have to start practicing wearing mine and showing it, in every room I enter.

When I grow up I want to be like Eddie G. Loving trains, dogs & good health. Way to go Ed.

Eddie, you look pretty darn good for an old fellow!  

Great people, and a great layout !!!!!!!!!!!

All I can say is Dotty & Marty were a great host & hostess. We had a wonderful time there today.I couldn't believe the layout. You couldn't add one more piece of track. What a beautiful labor of love. The thing that impressed me the most was his catenary system. The GG1's actually ran off the catenary. From there we had lunch & then to Charlie Ro's. it was a great day. Thanks again to Dotty & Marty. 

It was our pleasure, Eddie. You are always welcome.

Allow me to add my thanks as well to Marty and Dotty. Their gracious greeting made it a memorable visit. And the layout - WOW!!! It's a fantastic combination of today's tech balanced by a feel for the "kid in the Lionel showroom in the '50's". It's captivating!! Add Marty's knowledge of the collecting/operating community and the time flies. Eddie and I had one great day.  P.S. Dottie even helped with some travel advice for a trip my wife and I are planning.  Thanks again to you both.   Dennis

Eddie, I'm glad to see you were able to get out from under the 6 feet of snow you've had this year. 

Looks like everyone had lots of fun!

Ed is one of the best! Glad you finally got to see Marty's layout and add your name to the wall!

Hi Marty,  I always enjoy your posts, and this one with Eddie is very special.  Having now been to one York, I truly understand why Eddie's countdown to York is so widely followed.
