I'll go for something a bit different. Great engines again this month.

Is there any way I can tell which one I voted for? It was such a close run thing that now I've forgotten! 
|
tmuir

Sorry MC I don't think so, and I see the NZ engine has made a sudden sprint and is now infront.

Only one more day to go and it could still go either way so if you haven't voted now is the time to do it.

come on! 43 votes so far keep em coming!
|
James
|
43 votes is the best so far, I have to say a big well done to everyone
|
tmuir

I would normally be closing this poll in a few minutes so it was changed midnight OZ time but as this is such a close run race will let it run until midnight GMT which means you have a few more hours to vote if you haven't yet.
|
Mamodman123
|
James will wish you did close it early now 
|
tmuir
|
Quick someone else vote!
We can't have a draw!
|
James
|
Bloody hell like!

So, will there be TWO engines for November? How would a draw be broken?

46 votes from 238 members isn't a very high turn out

congratulations Stitch

Very close one this month!
Thanks to all that voted for my David Auld engine. Much appreciated and let me assure you that the cheque is in the mail
Seriously, I am grateful. It is the most favourite engine in my collection. A little different from other Auld engines as it doesn't have a safety valve.
The paint work is fantastic on it. It doesn't look like it has been steamed up. Let me assure you, it gets a good workout and the paint is like new. It also runs very well.
As weird as this sounds, I am more excited about winning this than I was about graduating with the doctorate a couple of weeks ago

Congratulations on both counts stitch

|
Congratulations Stitch

Graham-Jilly

I must admit I wanted you to win and I saw at one point you were only a vote or two behind so posted to the poll to remind people to vote and hoped they voted for your engine and luckily they did.
I think this is the first engine not made in the UK or Germany that has won it, well done!

cheers, Tony. I appreciate that. To be honest, I was surprised that it won. A good range of engines as usual this month.
Glad I could, in a small way, restore some NZ pride
