    The starting date for this is anytime now.

    You must enter as usual by creating your own entry thread ie .... toto's 2022 loco build competition entry

    The first post can confirm your intention to enter, but your second must start of with photographs of the content of parts in an inbuilt state.

    The rules and judging criteria

    1. All your own work
    2. Any scale
    3. Any medium eg brass, white metal, resin etc etc
    4. Complete scratch build allowable rather than a kit but forming of individual parts must be evidenced.
    5. No bonus for a tender loco over a tank loco
    6. The loco element ot a tender loco build equals a tank loco or diesel loco build.
    7. No painting required but can if you like.
    8. Regular step by step photographic updates. No block updates allowed. Ie half the progress in one post

    Judging criteria

    1. Frequency and quality of posts including sufficiency of image quantity.
    2. Level of entrants experience / effort versus final result
    3. Quality of accompanying build description highlighting build difficulties and how they were overcome
    4. General attitude and perseverance in the face of potential defeat ( the feck it factor ).
    5. The finished result
    6. Level of completeness of the build by the final date.
    7. Kit enhancements

    At the end of the day, the individual voter can weight their chosen criteria on their own merit which hopefully opens up a chance for everyone to win based on each individuals take on the entry.

    The above are the rules for now, they can be added to based on any further questions asked. However I'd rather close off the rules asap to prevent constant changes so if you have a query ...... sooner rather than later.

    The closing date for this shall be Satirday the 5th of November with the winner being announce 7 days later.

    The poll which will take the votes will be displayed on the 6th November and close 7 days later. In any event the poll shall last for 7 days.

    The poll result is final.
    The prize is is non negotiable and no cash equivalent is available.

    Good luck to all who participate

    Your flounder ...... toto

    For the first time ever ...... I think ....... I'm running late on doing my forum duties. But, fear not ....... control gas been restored.:avatar:

    The poll will be posted within the next 24 hours. My apologies.

    I am doing a retake on the various entries to catch up due my absence of late.

    The winner will still be announced as scheduled.

    Good luck to everyone and I hope our pollsters turn out in numbers.

    Keep your eye open for the poll later today. Many thanks

    Toto
