Scott, The 'engine house' is not a correct answer. Chris, your number 6 in incorrect.
With 12 hours to go Scott is in the lead even if you both don't get the sixth 'difference' correct. Jim ;)
 


Alright,

1. There are two trees behind small building in photo 2.
2. There is a man on the back side of turntable in photo 2
3. The item on the freight house platform next to flat car is now on the ramp to platform in photo 2
4. The engine in engine house is different in photo 2 The engine is different in front of small building in photo 2
5. Barrels at end of turntable are different, brown and red
6) Middle man figure next to engine different in photo 2

Lets give that a go.

Sorry Chris, number 6 is still wrong, but you are in the vicinity of the correct answer. Last hint.:o Contest ends in about one and a half hours. Scott is in the lead. Jim :o
 
Okay, one more guess.
1) One tree behind small building in photo 1 missing
2) Man behind turntable in photo 1 missing
3) Engine different in front of small building
4) Barrels at end of turntable are different, brown and red
5) Middle man figure next to engine different
6) Pipe in the flatcar is different.
Believe it or not I do enjoy these contests - another well done and challenging.
Thanks - Chris
 
WINNER, WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER! Congratulations Scott. Not many participants this time around but no worries. Scott PM me you name and address an which prize you would like.
Chris, maybe next time. Jim:)
 


And it would be amiss if I didn't show you the final 'difference.' There are now three crates in the second photo. Unfortunately the camera angle blotted out the original two crates. However the fact that they were hidden in photo 2 is a tough one, BUT the additional crate is at the top of the ramp. Which is the 'difference.' My wife called foul, so I banished her from the train room! Except for vacuuming! This would have been a good winning find, but nonetheless Scott got the first five 'differences' first. Cheers, Jim:D
 
Hi Jim,
I think on my post at 9:47pm last night, my number 3 answer may have addressed that. I just thought I would check with you. My wife actually spotted it and would be mad at me if I did not find out if it was right or not.

Scott
 
Scott, So you did. I missed that post completely as I'm usually asleep by 2130. I missed it today as well. You can't win twice, but congrats for the great effort. Here is a photo to look at while I waited for another PM from you. Jim

My wife will be very happy to hear that, maybe to happy. I may have to go out and mess with the layout while she is gloating.

Thanks Scott;)
 
In the above photo I wanted a 'sundown' end of the day look. Just my desk lamp for lighting. Not much light through the skylight as it actually was around sundown.

Scott has chosen the engine house. Yesterday was his birthday so it is all good. Thanks to all who participated including Scott's wife. Jim :)

Anyway, I squeezed this photo in during the Contest and was wondering if anyone liked or disliked it? Jim :)

I think it is a great photo.
The track in the lower corner needs some "dressing up" ... But I am sure that you are not finished in that area.
Maybe a deer under the tree, or a couple more people standing around talking?
