Hey, a new year, and we're going to try to think of some new photo contests this year rather than do the same old ones. Well, maybe we'll do some new ones and a few old ones just for old times sake and the fact that we like some of the old contests anyway.

For January, we're going to do something we all like to show, consists. Let's take a photo of a consist on your layout, your club's layout, your friends layout, a diorama or even the real world. Maybe it's one that's being made up in a yard, one heading up a mountain pass or even pulling into a passenger station. Try to think of something unique about your consist, maybe location, maybe loads, maybe it's, well, who knows.
The meager rules are:announce1

The meager rules are:announce1
- The photo must have been taken by the one that enters it

- One entry per person, additional pictures will be deleted
- The picture can be from any layout or diorama or the real world.
- All other general photo contest rules apply.
- This contest will close early in the morning on Feb. 1st.
- As usual, no prizes will be awarded except the pride in knowing you entered the contest and that's worth a lot.
