Oh no!!! it is unfair that the choices are so hard! I am glad I did not submit an entry, the bar is now too high. I think I will have to sleep on this one.

I got what I wanted, I made it into the poll,

...but I don't think I have much of a chance.

It will be a tough choice for me on the Marklin or the Bing.

I think it will be very close between those 2, so I will give it some thought.

...And in case any of you are wondering what I have done with the Luton Bowman in the

I think its a German one for me, but they are all amazing, will be close this month.

Thought that nothing would come close to the Marklin, BUT that Bing droooool

I really think this will come down to the wire.

I truly cant decide between the Bing or Marklin. Never seen a bing like that before, but the Marklin just says "Impressive"

... I'm torn between the Märklin and that fascinating Bing. Torn between Jam and Jerusalem, Minneapolis and St. Paul!

Wow, it's a hard a decision ...

Too hard a choice between the german engines so I chose something else instead.
