This is just a reminder that you have until August 7th to enter this contest.
There have been some fantastic models entered so far but there is plenty of room
for more. I hope as many folks with enter that can.

Save 9v Trains would like to announce its first (and hopefully not only)
contest.
The contest has been set up to support 9v Trains by using LEGO Factory to
build a quality database of models that can be purchased by long time AFOLs
and Newbies. Our intention, once the contest concludes, is to put together
some “Starter Train Sets” using the entries with instructions on how to get
everything you need to run a great Hobby train from S@H.
There are a few rules that we have put in place to help get new fans into the
hobby as cheaply as possible. For example the 9v LEGO Train motor costs $35
US through LF but just $20 from S@H. While we think LEGO Factory is
potentially one of the best tools available to get folks started in trains
asking folks to pay $15 more than they need to seems outrageous. To that end
we are asking folks entering either of the “Locomotive” categories to build
without the motors and we will provide instructions on how to add a motor (or
2) to your S@H order at the same time you place your LEGO Factory order.
For all the contest details please visit the
Save 9v Trains Contest
Page.
You will notice that we have a “Fantasy” category so we hope all you
non-train heads will participate as well.
If you have already submitted models to LEGO Factory feel free to submit them
to the contest as well.
We look forward to seeing some great LEGO Factory trains in the near future.
