Over the past few years, I have had some friends sign my train room wall. Many Forum Members have asked me to put up a list. Here goes.
My Late and dear friend Lou Caponi

Great bunch of friends Marty....especially you !!!
Thanks Jim. I received many emails asking me to put the post up.
Impressive!
We've had a lot of good times in Marty's train room!
It was a great honor to do so!

Truly a distinguished "Honor Roll" of O Gauge enthusiasts! Thanks so much for posting this.
This is truly a cool thing to see. Thanks Marty.
Way cool
Impressive list of some great people.
A great group of people!
It is an honor to have signed Marty's wall and for Sue and I to have Marty and Dotty as friends. It has also been my privilege to act as driver for wall signers Alex, Bob DeGuarde, Chris Lord and Mike Caruso. And for the TrainAmerica sign, but it didn't sign the wall. Every trip to Marty's is always a lot of fun and I invariably learn a lot.

People asked you to post a list and it's great that you did, but, posting a list ― illustrated with pictures ― is just fantastic.
Thanks for sharing.

Ditto.....could've spent the entire day watching all the beautiful trains and taking in all the great layout details.
I had to keep some of these New York guys in line. They spent their younger days signing things with spray paint cans. I caught them just in the nick of time. When I stated wall, they went looking for spray cans.
On a serious note, I love the New York and New Jersey guys. Some great friends and great people.
Thanks for posting. That's quite a list and very nice you have pictures too!!
Nice memories, Marty. I hope to one day be fortunate to see your impressive layout in person.
It was a great honor to be asked to sign Marty's wall. Thanks Marty.
Both impressive and cool!
Thanks for sharing!

Wish someday I can sign "The Wall". Don
I would love your John Hancock. My layout is open to any Forum member who might find himself/herself in my neighborhood.
I was honored to put my signature on your wall along with all these other guys and gals.
What a wonderful memento showing how you share your hobby with others!
Very impressive "Who's Who" in the toy train world!!
John, I need you there also next time you are at the house.
Thanks guys. I also had Rich sign the inside of the tender hatches on my Lionel 765. He knows a bit about that engine and it is now a signed piece of art.
I will visit you one of these days but have you use a green sharpie for some reason or another?
That's neat!!

The day I signed the wall and actually ran my train on his layout.
Ted, for you my friend I will let you only do that.
I was truly honored to have signed Marty's wall. Also if you haven't seen his layout it really is a must see.
Thanks, Alex

Sorry Ted but we only have red and blue sharpies in Mass. Green ones are against the law!
I'm speechless and in awe of how many people have signed your wall. You are a patriarch in the Model Train hobby Marty. Thanks for sharing this and making many memories with those that have visited your layout in the past, present and future.
Thanks Tim. I am only sorry I did not start the wall earlier as many great people in the hobby have visited.
