   Mine now proudly hangs in my office.  It looks like a million bucks.

Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.

Mine arrived several days ago - my account here has been a mess so I haven't been able to comment on anything, much less the receipt of this gorgeous print.

Thanks a million, Chris.  Now for a frame....

 

 

Just to echo what the others have said! BowWowWowYeah

  Mine arrived in very good order, and it was everything I had hoped the original photo would be.

         Not to mention a 'signed' print!! Pretty, Cool Stuff!!!Cool

                                                        Thank YOU ! Chris!

Got mine when we returned from Minnesota a week ago- beautiful!  Only disappointment was the USPS managed to find a way to put a slight bend in one corner.  I'd add some stiffening cardboard next time (and send them COD).

All prints have been spoken for and shipped. Thank you for your interest. I have an idea for another down the line, but I need to get some stuff in line first. Will advise when that happens. Thanks, all!

...I'd certainly want to cover your shipping expenses.

 

I don't want to cause any ripples with the "no sales" rule of Trains.com. Shipping costs seems like a grey area so I'm going to err on the side of caution and just handle all of the shipping costs myself. Thank you for the offer, though!

Hope I did it right.  If I should be the recipient of one of the prints, I'd certainly want to cover your shipping expenses.

The Great Print Giveaway - Part II (The Prints)

Ladies and Gentlemen, here are the prints that are available. Please make sure to read Part I before picking your print. Quick recap: Please send an IM for ONE! image. First requester for each image gets that image. I will try to update this as images are taken, but I've got a big proposal that I'm putting together at work today, so no promises.

 Frontier Days Train at Brighton by Chris May, on Flickr
(Please note, I mounted this one slightly crooked. It's a flaw that won't be visible if viewed from a distance, but will be upon close inspection) PRINT IS TAKEN

 Great Western by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Maintenance by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN

 O-5b Driver by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Welcome Back, #346! by Chris May, on Flickr
 PRINT IS TAKEN (Please note that I slightly bent one of the edges of the print when mounting this one. Like the Frontier Days shot, it's not visible unless you're very close to the print)

 Smokebox Detail - Sepia Toned by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 The Sun Sets on 2010 by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Descending the Moffat by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Limon Sub Sunrise by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Snow on the Ski Train at Union Station by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 The Ski Train in a Blizzard by Chris May, on Flickr
(Please note that the aspect ratio of this one is slightly different in the print. The web version is sized for 8x10, the print 2x3. So the format is a little wider and theres a bit more "stuff" in the picture, especially in the left side of the image. I like the print version more) PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Early Morning Smoke at North Yard by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Out of the Mists - Blue Mountain Road, Colorado by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 California Zephyr at Denver Union Station by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Canopy - Remodeled Denver Union Station by Chris May, on Flickr

 BNSF Manifest near Chemical by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Under a Crescent Moon at Leyden by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

 Union Station Wide Shot by Chris May, on Flickr
(Please note that the ink from where I titled this one got slightly smeared).

 Glove - Colorado Railroad Museum by Chris May, on Flickr PRINT IS TAKEN.

And here is a quick and dirty snap taken with my iPhone of what the finished product looks like. Sorry about the phone image. I didn't think to do a product shot until I started posting this and the good camera gear is at home.

 Example by Chris May, on Flickr

Thanks for your interest and good luck to you all getting the print that you'd like!
