We had a small, but quality contest. (Start thinking about what you'd like to enter next year!)
In the Locomotives and Rolling Stock category, Steve Jackobs won honors for his boxcars, and Terry Nathan and Howard Young won awards in the Scenery and Structures category for their TTrak modules, the Circus Comes to Town and Sin Alley (pictures above).

Last, but not least, we gave out a number of door prizes. Only some of the pictures came out (apologies), but we had winners of gift certificates from King's Hobby, First Hobby, and Black Bear Construction, bridges from Micro Engineering, new sugarcube speakers courtesy of Streamlined Backshop, a scenery kit from Woodland Scenics, a rail nipper from Xuron Tools, and a fuel depot kit from Walthers courtesy of Phil Sharpnack. Thanks to all of our sponsors!
