    Weekly Modeling Photo Challenge "Two of a Kind" Ends Sunday, February 20th.

    In light of Valentine's Day, let's see some "couples" on the layout.
    A pair of figures in the park? Double headed locos?
    A pair of lone trees on the high ridge?
    :D Use your imagination and show us Two of a Kind! :D


    *Please read all rules as they may have changed from previous weeks*

    Modeling Photo Challenge Topic: "Two of a Kind"
    1. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!!

    2. The entry deadline is Midnight (UTC -11), Sunday, February 20th. Late entries will be accepted up until the official "Time's up!" post within the thread.

    3. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between Monday, February 14th and Sunday, February 20th.
    Please use the challenge as a motivation to take a new photographs!

    4. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will not be included in the poll and may be moved to the cutting room floor thread.
    - Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct. -

    5. Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully.

    6. Though realism is popular among voters, it is not required. Any image or snap shot related to the topic is acceptable!

    7. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged.

    8. Please use the Cutting Room Floor thread for related but ineligible images.

    9. A clever and distinctive title for your image helps identify it among voters. (And makes it easier for me when posting the poll ;) )

    10. Photo editing and enhancing is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged, however the subject and focal point must remain that of a physical model.

    On February 21st, all entries will be put up for a public vote, in which all members of TrainBoard may vote for their favorite entry(s), regardless of whether you submitted an entry or not. Voting will last 4 days. You may vote for multiple entries. To do this, you must select all entries for which you wish to vote at once, and then click the submit button.

    I cant wait to see your entries! Good luck!

    A Pair of Boxcars

    SD&AE #50, my most recent steam kitbash, drifts downgrade with an MOW train with only two boxcars and a caboose.
