Add me to another forum member that's good to hear from you. You WILL win the battle!
Marty as I have said befor we have never met and probably won't but it was so great to see a post from you. Hang in there were not done praying for you, and the good lord is not done with you yet. He has a few more ( at least ) Train shows for you to goto. I do read your post when I see them. Take care

Wow Marty, this is truly impressive. It's great to be able to put a face with a name. Thanks so much for posting this, it is great to see how many people have signed your wall and how many friends you actually have. How wonderful to have all these fine people come over to see your layout and sign your wall. I hope you update it every once in a while.
Cheers and best of luck in the future.
Met you once in NJ and felt blessed though we have no kinship. The friendships you have made here and with others in the model train world are real connections with meaning in life and very admirable. God bless you, Marty.
Great to hear from you again, keep fighting as you have done.

WOW...!! Just saw this and am SO HAPPY to see you posting again Marty! As you know, I wanted to come see you after our 50th birthday bash but you had mentioned you would be going through chemo that week. Seeing the Hikel brothers visiting you makes me wish I would have headed your way!! I am going to sign that wall someday!!! Keep on being strong Marty....they don't come any better than you my friend and we are all looking forward to you being a regular at York and on this forum again!
Wonderful to see you posting again Marty!!! Wishing you total wellness!!!
I just saw this and am SO HAPPY to see you posting again, Marty!
I had a great time shooting the video of your layout. You and Dotty were fantastic hosts. And it was an honor to sign your wall.
Great to see you back on the forum, hope to be able to see more post from you. Enjoyed seeing your layout though I was not asked to sign your wall.
Praying you beat round two of cancer!
Hope to see you at York in April.

If there ever was a good will ambassador for the model train hobby it would have to be you Marty but I must admit Dotty does a great job as well . Your cordial and welcoming attitude with all train folks is an example to be followed. All of us are hoping and/or praying for your complete recovery.
Marty,
So great to see you getting back into the swing of things. I wish you nothing but continued good health and many more years of enjoying trains! Keep fighting the good fight buddy.
Best Regards,
Mat
GREAT GOING MARTY!!!! Keep up the fight, prayers for you .
Marty, It's really great to hear from you. It re-inforces my belief that prayers are answered ! Will keep praying that your progress continues. Stay positive. Chris a.

Hi Marty: I have your layout booked marked and refer to it often when looking for ideas for my train room and layout. Thanks for all the help over the many years.
Take care: Gary
It's great to hear from you Marty! I'm glad to hear you are up and running trains and receiving visitors. We're all praying for you!

welcome back Marty
Thank God you're back Marty. I really missed you're posts. Keep fighting, you will beat this.
Thank you Lord for answering our many prayers for Marty's wellness in his fight against cancer. I know his battle is not over yet, so every night I will continue to ask of You, help for Marty's recovery.
Marty, I am so glad you are well enough to post on this forum. Keep up your great spirit. One of these days when you are much better, and as I visit my daughter in nearby Stow, I would like to see your fantastic layout. God bless you!
Marty, Great to see your post. Continued prayers of healing being sent your way!
Finally, the cure for cancer has been discovered! Love and O gauge. Marty, the love is constant, but remember you have to keep playing with the trains. It's up to you. Dotty, be vigilant, don't let him watch TV - except for the Pats. That'll be OK.
Glad to see you post again Marty! Prayers and best wishes to you! Do some switching/shunting "problems" on your layout, enjoy those trains.
Best wishes Marty.

I greatly appreciate the photos at the beginning of this thread, showing the happy faces of all the model railroaders who have signed Marty's train room wall. IMO, those model railroaders are among the very best.
Thank you, Marty, for sharing those photos with us. Over the years I have enjoyed the train magazine articles about you and your spectacular trains and layout. Arnold
