I was digging around in one of my junk/scrap/parts boxes this morning (looking for a 2" long bit of styrene rod… which I didn’t find BTW), when I came to the realization that I probably have enough accumulated crap here to build another complete locomotive. Then I thought, Vic probably does too… and maybe a few others.
Which led to… Since it’s Jan 1, how about a really goofy idea… Is anybody up to a friendly little contest? Rules are simple: 1. It can be just about anything you want to build. motive power, rolling stock, structure, mini scene, whatever – BUT you’ve got to do it with less than $10 of additional purchases (to be fair, lets say $20 for a locomotive) 2. Long planned or already under construction projects are not eligible. New year = new project. 3. Pictures of the completed project have to be submitted by January 15th – ie. you’ll have two weeks to toss something together. 4. Winner will be picked by popular vote. both for each major catagory listed above and overall best-- If it’s your first or second major project, we’ll give you extra points for effort… AND 5. The whole point is to have FUN with it. So there may or may not be a tangible ‘prize’ for the winner beyond the satisfaction of saying “I did it!”
Who’s game?
