Quarterly Garden Railway Gallery, March 2019 - VOTE HERE, LAST DAY

Post by philipy » Thu Feb 14, 2019 10:29 am

Firstly, thanks to all those who have participated, we seem to be off to a good start with 11 entries.

Now, the theme was fairly broad and open to wide interpretation so it's interesting to see how "My Railway" varies. Doesn't make deciding on a favourite, very easy!

As has been said before, this is NOT about the technical quality of the photography, just choose the picture which in your own opinion best fits the theme.

ALL members may vote, irrespective of whether they have entered, and the more voters we get, the better.
Each member has one vote but that can be changed before the closing date, which is 30th March.

Featuring Alexander Jamiesons fantastic Baldwin Steam Motor and trailer

I particularly like this photo as it sums up what I want my line to be, A suitable backdrop for Australian Narrow gauge models to operate in.
