I prefer that the screen be posted at train-sim, as we're using the thread # to figure out who's who. However, if you don't have an account at train-sim, then you're more than welcome to email me the pic. I would be happy to post it there on your behalf. :)
Cheers!

For the routes, only those listed are eligible - besides, I don't know of any others in the works by those mentioned. As for locos, those are separate, some of which are included in the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.

Also note that it was pointed out that the date mentioned here is December 20th, while the one at Train Sim and on my site is December 15th. It was intended that the main thread at train-sim.com be the ultimate rule set, and not to cheat anyone out of entering. I simply forgot to update the thread here. My apologies for any confusion or hassles this might cause. I will however, allow the one screen mentioned above that the user requested be sent to me via email.
Cheers!

Don't bother entering now, as the end date was actually the 15th. If people are going to invite you to enter their contest, it would be at least a little bit polite to get the rules right...
