No problem Tony. The way I see it there are two very worthy candidates there....I'd have a tough time choosing between them. Be better if someone won it squarely, but if it comes to a tie, let the Wilson have it, and of cours you can use my setup in any way you like.

Moose thats very kind of you, amazing to get the same number so far, have lost the official finishing time, something to do with Oz time, so its pretty soon.
If its a tie I think it should officailly be a tie though

Moose, that is very gracious of you, but if it is a tie then either yours or both engines should win. It is not fair if yours is not displayed as this has been a close contest all the way to the end.

Failing that, then have one extra days voting just between our two engines.

While I was considering my vote (and I had narrowed it down to the 2 leaders) I simply remembered that this contest is for "engine" of the month, not accessory shop of the month. Given that, and a good look at the condition of the 2 fine and collectable engines, I went with the Wilson. This takes nothing away from the really nice working accessory display. It was just the ENGINES for me.

Ahh Gil you said you were voting for the Wilsen but have cast your vote on the Wormar.
Can you clarify which one you meant to vote on and then the voting will be closed.

I have always thought I had voted for the Wilson.
If there is any confusion, my apologies.

Sure has been an interesting race this month, after several that had runaway landslide winners. IT has been fun and I think they all, each and every one, deserve the place of honor.

Next month should be real interesting, potential contestants are a Marklin, a "Thing" and some other real interesting engines, maybe a Wilson too.

I've really got to get an engine in this thing some time.

I keep putting it off.

We maybe should even have a boat , loco and traction special category from the stationary lot?? They are a differnt group --

but I am not a mod and the hassles for unpaid staff might be greater than warranted..
