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. _________________ Your life is an occasion...Rise to it |

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
very short time (11 days) I have owned it, have a read through this:

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 ...  _________________ Says Tom
