Mik's Build Challenge 2016

Yea Devon, you need to get a railroad built, so that the challenge build will have a home.

Maybe for the challenge we can raise the limit to $3000 dollars and we can start with a section of track.

Devon, most of us have track. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)Most of us don’t have 3 grand just laying around. (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)

I assume that would be $3000 donation to any one starting a railway? who maybe hasn’t quite got track down and needs some shiny new “iron”?(http://www.largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif) er well … maybe … we’ll see…Good idea though!!!

6 MONTHS TO GO

Just a gentle reminder that Mik’s Build Challenge 2017 is only 6 months away.

My how time flies, it seems like it was only yesterday we were sweating the Finnish line details.

Finnish line?

:wink:

Isn’t time for the challenge yet. It has to be.

OMG!!!    

it's that time again almost....    

I'd better ramp up the production lines.  

92 days to wait. 

Devon, as if you don’t have enough to do. After all, you supposedly are building a railroad. At least, that is the rumor.

Well…if we’re getting a head start, we might as well go all the way (although we’d still be behind walmart and costco!)…

Well by then the construction crews should be such down. I should be able to squeeze in a build challenge. In all seriousness I am really looking forward to this one. I will be done with school so I won’t have pesky homework getting in the way

Besides there is always time for the build challenge

Well by then the construction crews should be such down.

Ok, ah, huh?

But even if the crews are on such a downer, there is still that steam locomotive to re-rod, rolling stock to paint and letter, and I am sure there is a myriad of other things that need done.

Dang it Spell checker should know what I am trying to say. Shut down. . .lol

the other things that need to be done are participate in the challenge

Just to let you know, sometimes being a smart-aleck doesn’t pay…I’ve had that goddamn song stuck in my head for two days now.

Devon, don’t let Maynard influence you(!), you have to be in the challenge, there’s no challenge without you.

He just wants me out because he is afraid of my awesome creative ability. . . (http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-innocent.gif). There is no feasible scenario that I can think of that would prevent me from participating. Don’t worry John, I will be there. For good or bad (and I am sure there are those who see it both ways) the only reason I found my way to LSC was because of the challenge. It is just the sort of thing I love to do. Wouldn’t miss it even if David came and sat on me.

I am just ragging on Devon. Of course I want to see him in the challenge, whatever it is.

When it is announced what it is, I need to look at my “someday” list again and see if I can get another one off that list. Its worked for me so far.

I spent the day making sawdust.

There will be no excuses not to join in this years fun… None for anyone…

BTW: nothing I did today had anything to do with the challenge.

BEST

Well now. Vic, I always thought maybe you were a bit “different” but that song proves it.(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-surprised.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-tongue-out.gif)(http://largescalecentral.com/externals/tinymce/plugins/emoticons/img/smiley-wink.gif). I have an open mind and I gave it a listen
