I have to say I voted for several of the 11 entries and found them all really interesting to follow. While I didn't get off my duff and complete either of the projects I had been thinking about for this contest, I did get off my duff and complete a couple other layout projects (like laying track and installing a fascia). So thank you for not only this contest but the many encouraging words and inspiring projects all around Big Blue.
There was one entry for whom I did NOT vote, and it was Wayne's shanty - all because of those garish yellow handrails.
Fantastic craftsmanship and ingenuity of design, but YELLOW?? 
You had me cheering all the way through the thread until that point. Oh well. 
I second the motion (or is that a third) for the 'finish something on your workbench' Fall 2010 contest. I think there should be an entry requirement that a person demonstrate or at least swear to the fact that the project has indeed been sitting on the workbench (or packed away near-by) and was started long before this Autumn, like years ago. Bonus 'procrastinator points' for longevity?

I may not be a rivet counter, but I sure do like rivets!
