[Colonel]

1. All challenges close at 12 midnight (24:00 hours) Eastern Standard Time on Monday 9th July 2007, and will be noted with a "Time's up!" post within the thread.
2. Please use the challenge as a motive to take a new photograph rather than using a photograph that you have taken in the past.
3. Challenges are open to everyone, have fun!!
4. Though not required, commenting on other peoples pictures is encouraged.
5. Only one image per participant so please choose the image carefully.
6. Any posts with images taken before the commencement of the challenge will be deleted.
7. For photos to be eligible they must be taken between the 6th and 9th of July 2007.
8. Ensure dates and times on your camera are correct.

I look forward to seeing many contributors, remember this is to encourage all modellers to take a shot of the subject rather than post a photo taken in the past.

No more takers? I would have thought there would be at least 10 entrants to this?

The T&NO (and all the SP) gave a different number to each unit of their articulated passenger cars. Here are 500 and 501 in the Sunbeam consist between Houston and Dallas. These started out as two Atlas coaches that were bashed together.
