I learned yesterday that two of the five winners in the\u00a0Model Rail Radio Shelf Layout Contest 2013 were mine! This is the first time I actually designed a layout to\u00a0enter\u00a0a contest. Never thought I would win, I was just having fun doing the designs.<\/p>\n

Of the three layouts, I\u00a0entered\u00a0two made the winners circle. They were Bonnie Bay<\/a> and Reid and Son Recycle<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The third layout (based on the Guinness Brewery)<\/a> was mention by the host Tom as very innovative but\u00a0because\u00a0the layout had some excessive complexities it just missed out on an award.<\/p>\n

See all of the winners at\u00a0http:\/\/www.modelrailradio.com\/layout2013.html<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The second part of the contest is to build one of the winning designs. I am very\u00a0excited\u00a0to see if any actually builds one these and how it turns out.\u00a0Unfortunately, my time is limited for the next few months so i will not be able to take part.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
