Very nice prizes there, completely incidentally, how many tickets is too many for one person?!

Is this an actual loco, or a place in the (long) queue??

Not repeating last year and having a coal fired engine as a prize?

I'm allways slightly worried about entering incase I win something 32mm gauge only.... Not that I'd win anything anyway. Glad to see an increase in gauge convertable things this year!

May have to enter, would give my left arm for at least two of the prizes. Will have to rejoin the 16mm mob first though

You know I think this competitions deliberatly trying to annoy me, firstly the prizes are so mouth watering that its just cruel for me not to win
and 2ndly the year before last 1 of my good friend who lives down the road who didnt even go to Stoneleigh won... twice!
what are the bloody chances?!
last year I had a bit of a heart in throat moment because someone with the same first name as me won something and for a single glorious second I thought Id won but then they callled out his last name and shattered my happy time.
Id be happy with the Bertie even if it is a 32MMer, Id run it on my other layout

At least you got that close!someone with the same first name as me won something
With my luck I win things like maiden voyages on the Titanic and trips on the Hindenberg
I consider my draw tickets not as "purchases" but "contributions to a good cause"

I am normally somewhat lacking in the luck department -- but I am currently in clover. So go for it --- there is always a chance.
After all, the chances of winning the lottery are something like 1 in 1000000 -- but someone wins most weeks !!
