Hi all!

So, here we are once again one year on. Thank you to everyone who's taken part in the competition. It's great to see it going so strongly once again :)


The theme for this month is Change
Set by last months winner, Ameecher. This is open to interpretation.
Ideas that Ameecher provided are changing trains, infrastructure being changed and receiving change.




Encase you're new, or need a refresh...
Rules can be found Here.
Please read and familiarise yourselves with them if you haven't before.
Previous winners can also be found on that page.

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:
I like to 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: 0313POTM_DaveW.jpg / 0313POTM_orudge.jpg / 0313POTM_GeoGhost.jpg / 0313POTM_Ameecher.jpg
You get the idea ;)

If you upload to the wiki with a different format, I will have to re-upload the image again with the right name. Sorry to be picky, but I want to keep all the entries organised and in the same manner.

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 till the 7th of each month (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. :D

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.


Best of luck to you all, and as always... have fun! :)
-Richard

agh I had a really good opportunity for a shot at Cosham with a FGW 158 and a SWT 450 either side
I don't care if I would've won or not, but it would've been nice.

Get my entry in I think.

A rather momentous part of time in Croydon's history - 60 years of the RF at Croydon garage - reunited with a long lost route, 234 and 234A/B, linking the garage to Purley, Selsdon, Wallington and Hackbridge, along with a vintage but since curtailed route 197 formed of a modern DW. Probably the only day Arriva has been helpful, with part arranging a photo shoot just for this event.

Today there were no fewer than 4 RFs, along with a Routemaster and an RT running about Purley and Croydon.

More photos on my flickr page.

Went out and got my entry today, the twin Tacoma Narrows bridges. The rebuilt 1950 one on the left, and the 2007 one on the right, showing off some of the changes to bridge design and architecture over the last 60 years.

Also on a related note, if you've never seen the video of the original 1940 bridge collapse, you definitely should. It's just amazing to watch the movement of the bridge.
