Keep in mind folks that it doesnt matter if your engine gets one vote or all of them, they are all so good and that is why you bothered to enter them. Although it is fun to cheer your favorite on. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

Unless it's a Jensen, then it's better.

Liked the Wormar Accessories but in the final analysis the condition and age of the Wilson was what swayed us. Andrew and I voted for the Wilson. D
Neck & Neck down to the wire.

Its a tie, I don't want to have to put two pictures up!
Quick someone place the deciding vote.  |
I think there was someone planning to vote last minute.
I'm hoping for a tie though, just so I can see what happens next.  |

Hmmmmm maybe one could Photoshop them together and make it one Photo. If it remains a tie I would gladly help on those lines.
Or you could just use the picture of the Wilson.  _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

We discussed it on the Mods board and decided making them both on one picture would result in both engines being very small and if we end with a tie both engines will be declared this months engine and both will be put in the Steam Reference Library Engine of the Month Thread and each will be displayed for two weeks.
Now this would mean twice as much work for me and I'm lazy so quick someone else vote so we have one winner and save me some work.  _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/ozsteam/index.htm

If there should be a tie between Les' and my engines (I think everyone's worked out who they belong to by now), I will withdraw my entry and let the Wilson have the honour - no problem at all with that as I voted for it in a previous EOTM poll.
Hope this makes things easier.  _________________ Stands the glass half empty,

If it is a tie, might I propose that one be the June EOM? I think that would be a fair way to sort it out. The Battle between the Marklin and the "Thing" can occur for July honors. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

If you do want to do that Moose I would still include you engine in the library as winner for this month but just put the other one up but who knows what will happen.
The pictures will probably be up a bit later this month as I can normally prepare everything a few hours earlier but I can't this month as it could still go any way so probably won't get them up until tomorrow after work OZ time. _________________ http://www.freewebs.com/ozsteam/index.htm
