TM's Books and Video Toy Train Revue 5, 2015 Christmas Edition came out a couple months ago. I picked it up a train show last month knowing Marty’s Layout was on the video. Being sick this week and stuck on the couch with nothing better else to do, I decided to watch it yesterday. Marty’s Layout is spectacular and TM did a great job in filming his layout. His layout is the highlight of this video. He gave a very nice interview in discussing his layout and the hobby. Congratulation, to Marty for his layout being featured on this video!

Very nice layout indeed!!!!!
I hope to see MARTY's Layout one day on our annual vacation to MAINE.
Marty's layout is one that many of us wish was ours!! Congrats to Marty and Dotty!...they are the best!

Have the video congrats to Marty, luv his RR!!!!
I've always thought Marty's layout was the perfect combination of toy like and realistic. More than that, it's the ideal venue for operating anything, where even electrics get a fair shake. The fact that it has stood the test of time and to be included in a TM production speaks volumes. I will need to get that video.

I have a lot of respect for Marty so I will have to look for that video.
Every time I visit with Marty and Dotty, and look at his layout, I go home and throw rocks at my layout!
However, looking at Marty's layout never gets old.
Thank you guys. About twenty years ago, Tom always told me I was on his list of layouts to do. It became a standing joke at York between us. Finally it happened. Joe Stackler did a great job. All my friends on the forum have a standing invitation to come by anytime. The layout is over 33 years old and I try to keep it up to date.
thanks again,
Marty
Congratulations Marty!
Congratulations Marty! I will have to pick up the video and check it out

Marty's layout is one of the coolest I have seen The number of trains on that layout is absolutely amazing The operating catenary blew me away
Ben was running a GG-1 on my layout last week for about 20 minutes before he realized the engine had no pickup rollers.
Congratulations Marty, I have to pick up a copy of the video. I wouldn't miss it, Marty's layout is a must see layout, we were just at Marty's house a few weeks ago and we had a fantastic time.

That's great to hear! I will definitely get a copy at Allentown's First Frost meet!

Alan, you're either going to have to stand on a ladder to reach the part of the wall that isn't signed, have basketball player length arms, or get a bucket truck down there. Any way you do it, you really ought to get up there to see Marty's layout.
Hope to see you at York.
