Happy to see this challenge again this year.
As Ezdays said, sometimes we are too much ambitious. Last year, I tried and failed miserably to build a shelf layout. I still feel bitter about it! ;-)
I started a lot of HO steam locomotive kitbashes during 2012. Most of them are about 80% completed but lie on my shelves getting dusty.
I'm not sure which engines I'll enter in the challenge, but I have to chose between a CNR 0-6-0, a CNR 2-6-0, a QRL&PCo 2-6-0, a CPR 4-4-0 and a CPR 2-8-0. I'm thinking about completing the 0-6-0 and them move on other project as time goes by... I'll give it more thoughts before the challenge start... and take pictures of these engine in their actual state of progress.
BTW, I'm still thinking about a shelf layout (2' x 8' depicting a typical QRL&PCo station), but won't enter it in the contest to not ridiculize myself again in front of fellow modellers!
