Just glancing at the results, it looks like BLI won quite a few first place votes.  I don't have anything from them, but I will have to look at some things.

I voted this year, but not in very many categories. I purchased very few things that were on the ballot.

Any "choice" awards you usually have to take with a grain of salt.  Those generally don't reflect my own buying habits; nor does it influence them.

Yeah, I found the limitations in choices to be stacked in favor of products.

I have a BLI SW7 with DCC/Sound and it's a overall  ok engine and the 567A sounds seems right but the single "blat" and chime horns has a annoying echo.

Now and IMHO the older Life Like Proto 2K and Walthers P2K EMD switchers has better details.

I didn't vote on many items, as I didn't buy them.  A BLI locomotive is NOT in my future.
