Another challenge closes, another winners announcement arrives.
Sorry that maybe it arrived too late, as i said in the P.Y. 20 post school can make me busy easily but...
Let's get to the list, shall we?

3rd place: Supper RailRoad 6532 by ChamDel 78

(not available anymore)

we'll start of with the worst entry here...
I can feel that there was obviously passion behind it but the execution is really lacking:
- looks= 12/25 pt, it generally fits the era but ther's some really wierd stuff about it like the giant funnel and the huge distance between cars that kinda ruins the design
- performance= 10/25 pt, it's terrible at riding, it's extremely unstable and is it just me or are the cars not leved with the engine? also why make it so slow? isn't the whole point of streamliners to be fast express trains?
- level of detail= 11/25 pt, it's very low detail but while it can work some time i feel like there's an extreme lack of it here, in fact it feels like an unfinished sketch of the train
- lore= 3/15 pt, i added this to allow people with entries like this to get a higher score because i appreciate effort the most but Cham completely wasted the opportunity. I'm not asking for extreme levels of writing but it basically just says "this is the slowest streamliner in the world" and as i said it's kind of stupid to be proud of this title

ChamDel 78 i appreciate the effort and i understand that maybe you don't have the equipments or experience to make something better but i unfortunately have to give your build a 4/10 having gotten 36/90 points

2nd place: PRR T1 by TylerWildDog

Here's the first good entry of the challenge..
I really like it and i think it's really good even if there are somethings that i didn't really like that much:
- looks= 20/25 pt, this is an example of a low detail replica that works, the general look is great even if it's more simple in outside detail
- performance= 15/25 pt, i unfortunately didn't really like how it rides, it has a bit of the same oscillation problem that the Supper RailRoad had just not on the same level and the wheels start to violently shake on paved runways but i would say it's fine
- level of detail= 28/40 pt, while as i said there's not much detail here i think that the small amount still present is still really solid... that's it...

TylerWilddog while i enjoyed the entry because of the issues i have with it i'm giving it a 7.15/10 and also giving it 63/90 points

1st place: Plarail Streamlined Thomas by Souplane

It was honestly a tough choise between this and the T1 but congrats Souplane because i settled on this:
- looks= 17/25 pt, it looks surprisingly close to the original considering that it was most likely designed without access to blueprints
- performance= 20/25 pt, it works really well for the tracks it was built to work on with maybe the only things i didn't like were the slow acceleration and the kind of "unstable?" side rods
- Level of detail= 30/40 pt, it's really well detailed from the coupling being actual plarail couplings to thomase's face

Overall still a really good entry so i'm giving it a 7.5/10 and also 67/90 points

Hope everyone had fun and the prizes are going to be given in the following months. So goodnight everyone :), see you next time

    @ChamDel78 well i know that but It goes against the streamlined design, It would fit more an 1800's american design.
    Also about your second comment, please don't give up, if you like Building trains Just keep Building and improving, because if you don't you'll never become better.

    I started building an entry for this, But then i got quite busy and did not finish it! I was hoping there would be more entries, But it was quite nice to see a couple good ones.

    Also, I have some sad news, I deleted my entry, because I thought it was my worst build ever. And you know what, I’m not building any train challenge entries of other train challenges.

    Some trains have giant funnels like the Cass Scenic Railroad
