Chris is right, The "contest" is really just a vehicle for getting folks to
submit their models. If I thought as many folks would have submitted models
without the "contest" I would have just set up the galleries. Of course some
folks don't like contests so that is a downside.
Anyway, this effort is a way to get folks to buy more trains by making a library
of quality models that are easy to find. Plus now LEGO sells 6 wide, 8 wide,
and 14 wide trains. All we have to do is design them using a limited pallet
(which is pretty dang good for a 1st shot at a pallet IMO). So I hope all these
fantastic models will make there way to the galleries whether you want to enter
the contest or not.
The plan is that in early September models will be grouped together as well to
form "Starter Trains" with instruction sheets for newbies on how to get started
in 9V Trains. We can only hope that this will be seen in a positive light by
LEGO.
