First, I would like to thank Ralph for setting up and looking after the challenge. Your efforts are appreciated more than you could ever imagine. Second, Congratulations to everyone who participated and a hearty WELL DONE. I don’t believe there are any real winners or losers. Everyone should take a great deal of satisfaction in that you have created something that is unique to your railroad and when any one asks where that car or whatever came from you should be proud to say that you made it. Personally I very much enjoyed the challenge and look forward to the next one, but not too soon. I have some railroading to do. Just to wet your appetites here are a couple of pics from this years early operations. Here is a shot of the K27 with the new passenger cars from last winter.

Looking great Ron. From the looks of those fresh concrete pads, I’d say your railroad is planning on sprouting some structures :slight_smile:

#12

Yes John, the structures are all built, I just have not put them out yet. We keep getting these little snow storms.

Builders,

I am ‘one of the few’ non-builders that cast votes, and it was difficult. All of the builders did a superb job of displaying some incredible modeling skills. As was said above, there are really only winners here.

Great job everyone!!

Ron - Thanks for the great pics.

Thank you, Bob. I wish more people would have voted. I was pretty happy with the number of entries, but a bit disappointed in the number of people who voted. Ralph
