New month, new race!

Theme:
"WORK IN PROGRESS"
... set by the last month's winner Transportman.

"Basically anything from (de)construction to maintenance, getting the wheels ready to turn and when they are finished turning, getting them away again."


As always, rules can be found HERE.

How to enter:
Easy - simply upload your image to this topic to enter or link it from a trusted site such as flickr, photobucket, DeviantArt, your personal website etc.
Uploading is preferred as it keeps things together. If you're linking from a URL, having a small 'preview' image and a link to a high-res image would be helpful.
If uploading direct to the wiki:
Let's keep entries in a certain named format for organisation reasons as well as keeping record of them in the entries topic and here. If you prefer to upload to the wiki, please keep it in the same naming format as other entries and inform me they are already on the wiki. Name format is - month|year|POTM_user name.
For example: 0317POTM_Dave.jpg / 0317POTM_orudge.jpg / 0317POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0317POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

At the end of the month, this topic will close and a voting topic will be started with all the entries in for people to choose their top one.
All entries will be uploaded to the tt-forums wiki and stored there for voting and also for archive.
Entries close on the last day of the month, voting will be available for 7 days (approximately).
The winner will need to contact me about what they want the next theme to be and then that will be posted in the entry topic for the next month*. Then we repeat from there. Simple.
(* If the winner doesn't choose a theme within 7 days, the next month's theme will be an "Open" theme).

If you wish to change your entry, you may so long as the entries are still open. Simply upload a new one to the topic and remove your old one.
Otherwise, it may get confusing as to which one you are entering. If there are two entries submitted and you have not informed me which one you wish to be used, I will use the first one posted.

Cheers people!

After digging around in my pictures, I found one, so I can also participate this month.

Note to self: Don't pick a theme for which you might not have an entry yourself.

I hope we can get 1 or 2 additional entries for this month, although I have to admit it is not the easiest theme (also not one you normally would take pictures for).

Would a picture of a 'Thameslink 2000' poster count as work in progress? :P

In all seriousness though, it's a really interesting theme and I can think of a few things. Sadly I've been pretty busy and unable to get out anywhere yet. That.. and my camera is rather buggered.

Bummer. There was some repair work on the Calder & Hebble Navigation / River Calder bridges at Horbury Bridge (Dewsbury/Wakefield) 4-6 week ago. Wish i'd got a picture of it now, it'd have made a worthy post. Large barge floating across the water with cranes on it and people rather precariously walking on the floating platform repairing and lifting things onto the crane.

Might have to get out and about and see if they've finished it yet or not :mrgreen:

I have no problem with extending this for a month, but it's up to Voyager One to make that decision as organizer.

Yep, I was thinking the same. This will go into April as well. I sincerely hope to see some more entries. :D

I think they were a lot less strict about that in 2003.

It's not so clear but that is Keppel shipyard where they get the ships repaired/modified and ready to go.

Taken in 2013 from a ship off Singapore.

This facility isn't registered on any map yet !

(Actually I have another picture I like more but it's a snapshot from a video I took, is that justifiable ? If yes I'll change it.)

EDIT : Entry revised. See here for my current entry.
