... OF THE BIG BLUE 2016/17 GET OFF YER DUFF CHALLENGE.
Steve (Epaw) deservedly finished First, with his very nicely-done re-build of a Bachmann 0-6-0 into a Camelback for his freelance ANNA Lines.
Bernhard (modelsof1900) placed Second with a very accurate re-detailing of a brass N&W caboose to match prototype photos.
....and tied with him for Second was....
Greg (mountaingoatgreg), who completed his hand-painted backdrop scene (Bob Ross would definitely approve) and finished his detail work on the Drinkwater place, a house and garage scene on the wrong side of the tracks.
Norman (morten1996) was one of three Members tied for Third, with his scratchbuilt Ingalls diesel, modelled after the GM&O's 1900, the only prototype.
Also finishing Third was Stephen (PEIR), who added some sound deadening material to his layout and also layed some track
and the other Third place finisher was Terry (teejay), for completing his steam shovel on a flatcar and an upgrade and detailing of a laser kit purchased after the original owner more-or-less botched the construction.
Congratulations to the winners and to all the others who got off their duff and participated. On behalf of all of them, "THANKS" to all who voted.
