For my purple star, I would spend most of it on the return air fare to the hobby shop and hopefully have enough left for a packet of Details West grab irons. They're as common as rocking horse ***, over here.

Even though I model in O scale, I would buy the new FSM kit, put it in my will to my grandson, let him sell it to some HO guy in the year 2025 and retire on the proceeds![:D]

I would buy a Mopac Budd coach and ACF coach grill being produced by The Coach yard. This would complete my MOPAC train for my layout of passenger trains serving KC Union Station in the late 60's-March 71

First i would go to the casino, make my self a millionaire. I would buy 105 Union Pacific 4-6-6-4 Challengers, Build a gymnasium sizedlayout showing Sherman hill, Wyoming, and have freights going over the hill pulled by the Challengers. I would have six of the Challengers fitted for passenger service so i could have passenger trains climbing the grade.

I would try to buy some N scale rolling stock and a couple of engines.
I would like to start modeling my town of Hot Springs, as it has a lot of interesting
history and a wide range of indyustries and track design.

I doubt anyone who has replied to the original poster's question has actually READ the Official Rules.

I have, and the prize ISN'T disbursed as a check; rather, the winner receives a GIFT CERTIFICATE for the prize amount, to be redeemed at the winner's favorite hobbyshop.
