With 1% of the votes in it looks like Robert L. Sartain has a commanding lead, due in part to everybody now getting an error message when they try to vote. Details at 11:00. [:-,]
I submited a photo, I don’t see it. voted for the NS research car.
I tried it this morning and got the error, but immediately tried again and it worked OK. (I didn’t vote at the time.) I tried again tonight and got the error, but on retry it worked OK. To experiment, I tried several times without voting, and got errors about 50% of the time. I finally voted for Robert Sartain’s entry, mostly because I like the looks of that car.
I guess Kalmback IT’s changes from 10/10 screwed up the voting. You just know they can’t touch anything without causing a problem.
I to got the error message first time trying to vote, but then read all pof the posts and tried again and it accepted my vote.
I have a question for Robert L. Sartain, "Are the dark lines on the side of the car near the middle of the car something like conduits or shadows from something else, like the catenary structures?
I like the picture of NS 32. Having worked on Conrail’s test car many times, I had the chance to ride NS 32 during a PTC test a few years ago. It was the Taj Mahal compared to CR 20! Clearly not what it seems in many ways.
