I think I'll hold off on my vote until the last day. 
I really need to think about this one as there are some great engines to choose from.

Hard as it is to ignore the TE's the Wilesco D455 (the crematory) rebuild does it for me.
Awesome.
|
Andrew

I am going to vote for the Wilesco D455 too.
It's a nice stationary engine.
|
tmuir

Good to see members creations in the poll.
The steam dray does it for me.
|
johnreid
|
Hard work deserves credit, and I did have a hard time deciding between it and the Wilesco.

Lest I am accused of ballot stuffing, I asked Andrew to pick his engine before I told him my preference.
Nice work, Tom.

I love the mobiles and this month their are just to many to choose from. I'll have to go for the Mamod N&B TE. It's a lovely model and although not the very first version, I've only ever seen 2 like this. 
|

Yet another for the D455. Some great work on display here.

Interesting, nearly a 3 horse race now.
They are all so good, each a worthy winner.

I'm not sure.
Does it end the last day Dauntless' local time at midnight?
|
johnreid
|
It might be Australia as I think Tony does the Photo posting.
|
Nick
|
I was just wondering, because I'll be gone this weekend and I haven't submitted my vote yet; I didn't want to miss the end.
|
johnreid

Why bother with the coin. Just vote for the Dray - you know it's the best
|
johnreid

Nick, Roly recommends that HEads be the Dray, and Tails be the Dray
It was tough making my mind up as they all are worthy of EOM
|

He's 4 votes behind, needs to try and catch up somehow.

I was torn between the Dray and the Wilesco, but the bricks on that firebox just did it for me!

Don't leave it too late, Nick. Remember, voting finishes on Australia time, which is probably about 18 hours ahead of you!
