I too have sent in my entry form. As I understand it all entries are accepted as a statement of intent and I do not expect a confirmation. What will count is how we make our ideas into a layout that is viable, attractive and fits the concept of cameo as explained in Iain and Simon's initial notes in MRJ and at the head of this topic. Have fun and enjoy the process! I look forward to seeing the shortlisted layouts and would hope to go to see the winner at Railex 2019. I am currently enjoying myself with my progress and am trying new techniques (for me) with buildings, track and (yet to be started) locos. I am glad that the competition has kick started my modelling again and that there are enjoyable works in progress on RMweb to enjoy. The motto carved in stone over the portal of the prison on my cameo is "Multum in Parvo" or according to Oxford Dictionaries.com " A great deal in a small space." Hopefully that will be true, but if not I am still enjoying the journey. Whether I ever get to spend magical prize money in the Titfield Thunderbolt bookshop is not why I am building. It is the journey that is important to me. I am looking out the window of RMweb, enjoying the scenery, other people's inspirational work, and am not too worried about the destination in Larkhall. Happy modelling everyone!
Best wishes
