Great news - Good luck at the Nationals.  For those judges that are watching the thread Bob should get extra points for his skills demonstrated as a machinist.

When I stop by the contest room, I'll be sure to find it so I can see it in person.

Put on a really big name tag.  I'd like to meet any of the forum people who might be going.

Thanx

Bob,

Well, with all that I'm assuming you took first place. Well done.

Tom...

The judging was not associated with a competition or a semi annual meet or like that.

There was a cadre of people who wanted to judge it before I took it to national.

With that there was no placing.

Bob,

Okay, now I understand. I was a little slow on this one.

So here is the verdict at the national. 

I finished second, out by one point.

I took first in the popular vote on steam locomotives.

Thanx for all of your support through all of this.

See ya

Bob, great outcome, though I (and many others here) think you and the Falk deserved first place.  You will always be first place here!
