That is the best way, as some may just be readers, not posters.

I'm decidedly anti-MTU at the moment since my unsuccessful trip to the Tyne Valley resulted in no Valentas for haulage this weekend just gone (you can imagine I'm less than amused at that prospect, especially as I missed a pair of Valentas). So thankfully I'm not voting on a traction-only POV.

There are a lot of fantastic entries, most of which show my lot up considerably Still, I'm looking even harder at my photos for this month, hopefully one of them will be viewed in a good enough light for a vote this time...

In any case, I'm rather keen to see a HST on the 2009 calendar, for reasons that are perhaps obvious. Don't get me wrong, I love locos but a change would be nice...

So even though I'm anti-MTU at the moment (I nearly threw my books in the recycling bins on Saturday night, so fed up I was), I've made my final decision. Mumrar's photo of 43321 rounding the bend with the newly refurbished AXC HST stock (which I've still got to go and travel on! ), in fantastic sunshine and nice angle looks the absolute bomb to me this month and gets my vote.

As for the show results link, I have once or twice clicked on it to see the progress thus far before a vote is made, but I've not let it influence my vote. Looking forward to the new voting scheme, it will be nice to not have to reject favourites in a competition this tight.

Congratulations mumrar on a fine photo and to all others for some fantastic entries that made the vote, as always, difficult.

EDIT: May Lordz, I've just noticed I've got a photo for my photo of 47727! That's made my day!
