pete_mcfarlane Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 It's nice to see that the top two are pre-grouping Southern steam, and third place was taken by a 21mm gauge GNR(I) loco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And neither of the southern models in 4mm scale... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenton Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Interesting to see the contribution scratch building into these winners and not simply a straight kit build - a true reflection of the "Build-a-loco" Challenge. well deserved one and all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

N15class Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Glad to see a couple that I voted for in the top 5. Very surprised I to come top. I thought there were better models. I personally think everyone was a winner, I hope that many will go on and build more, as part of our lovely hobby Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be that if you model Southern steam you need to build to get a true representation of the loco fleet. For me I would build anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edwardian Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 It's nice to see that the top two are pre-grouping Southern steam, and third place was taken by a 21mm gauge GNR(I) loco. Not entirely sure I'd agree; I thought the point was to judge the build, and I don't see what one's preferences for companies (or scales) has to do with it. I concur with the placings; all excellent models. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
