Welcome Judges to the 2007 10x12 Design Contest. Click the link below to see the layout designs.

There are 3 Scales of layouts. There will be two types of voting. First choose your favorite of each scale. Then choose your 3 favorites overall. Click on the thumbnail for a larger picture and description.

Come back and post them here.

 Just to make sure I understand. Am I supposed to post two lists, each of three elements, as in:

  Favorite within scale:
  N-scale: #
  H0-scale: #
  G-scale : umm ;-)

  Overall favorites:
  #1
  #2
  #3

  Or just my three overall favorites ?

Two lists. #1 in each scale. Overall 1-2-3

Mammay--you done good. It's open to the public.

Definately some awesome plans guys!!! hats off to ya!!

my favorites of each scale:

N-scale: Altoona & Johnstown   just Awesome for railfanning!! a few altertions and could have excellent operation possibilities as well in 10 x 12!!!

HO Scale: Lower susquehanna Very unique, i really like the concept!

G-Scale: i dont know why, but im really suprised to see a g-scale layout! not a fan of traction style layouts, but very cool to show that a large scale can fit in a 10 x 12 room!!

 

My 3 favorites:

1. Altoona & johnstown

2. snover & port fuller

3.  lower susquehanna

again, great job guys!!

Can't wait for the next contest!!!!  

(shelf layouts would be cool!)

 

EDIT: i hope this was open to the public style voting, if not, i apologize!

Personally I like the Snover & Port Fuller -- but it's a 12x12 rather than 10x12 so I don't know if it should be penalized or not.

Regardless:

#1 Snover & Port Fuller (again, it's 12x12 not 10x12)

#2 Buffalo & Susquehanna

#3 Altoona & Johnstown

The 10 x 12 Layout Contest Entries

Contest Rules

Welcome to the second layout design contest.

This time we will do things a little differently as your design must have a theme. The theme can be anything you want, but you have to state your theme and tell how you accomplished it.

You may use any scale you wish. Narrow gauge will be judged in the with the standard of the same scale. For instance, HOn3 will be judged with HO.

We will all have the following dimensions to work with:

The door is 6" off the wall and 30" wide. It swings inward.

You can have as many levels as you want, but grades must not exceed the capacity of your engines. You must also state your grade in your description if it is applicable. Likewise, your turn radii and turnouts must be appropriate for your scale and locomotives.
