2012 Build Challenge Winners Prize

To help stimulate interest in this years challenge, I offered up a 2nd place prize of a large stretched canvas print of the winners choice. Todd Haskins walked away with 2nd place in the voting to my “Shorty Caboose” (which would have been embarrassing if I had won my own prize). Todd had a great deal of trouble finding the pic that he wanted printed (hard drive crash) but finally retrieved it. Here is the finished 24 x 32 of a Great Winter shot.

Looking forward to next years challenge.

Wow,
That is really nice.
I didn’t enter this years challenge, since I am temporarily without a work space.
For the first time, we had some really great prizes, thanks to Daniel Peck and yourself.
Kudo’s and many thanks to you both.
Ralph

WOW that looks AWESOME Dave. I already have a spot picked out for it in my train room. Thank you for producing such a great prize and thanks to all who sponsored the contest and voted for my humble build.
The photo was taken during the “Steam in the Snow Excursion” railfan day up in NH at the Conway Scenic RR a few years back. For those interested it was a terrific trip and they gave us several opportunities for us fools to pile out, and stand in the snow while the train backed up and gave us run bys. It was both cool and cold. I have a couple of videos on youtube from the day go to capecodtraintodd and look to steam in the snow 1,2 and 3. There is some nice steaming action.
Thank you Dave
Todd

Nice Print !!! Looks like a great prize.

I’ll second Ralph on the kudos.

Nice!
