    Well the last final of the series is here! Its time to finish out the 2009 End of the Year contests!

    Below I will post the final photos from which TrainBoard members will choose the top 3 to be the TrainBoard 2009 Modeling Photos of the Year!

    Comments are encouraged, but please wait until after the 24 photos have been posted. Please remove the photos from any quote so that there are no duplicate photos visible.

    edit: In the elimination vote, we had a 5 way tie for the last 4 options for the final. Unfortunately I can not add a 26th poll option, so to be fair I will have to drop all 5 from the final. Sorry guys.

    1st place is gaining grounds, 2nd place is holding, but 3rd place is anyone's game with still over 1 day left! I think we'll have to set the goal at 40 voters for this one! :D:D
