A happy new year to you all and I hope you all had a good time over the bells. I did - and that's why this thread was delayed so much This is the UK Second Round - with 16 routes in the running. Because of the delays and the fact that the forum will probably start to become active again - I'm shortening the LWC to only having four rounds, the Group Stages (done), This round, the Finals and the Grand Finale. So, using the draw that was already done, we'll group each set with their bracket neighbours and create groups of four: A: Class 465 vs Class 390 vs Class 700 vs Class 801 B: Class 47 vs Class 31 vs Class 40 vs Class 87 C: Class 101 vs Class 45 vs Class 395 vs Class 710 D: Class 158 vs Class 314 vs Class 170 vs Class 142 You'll get 6 votes, one for each group then two wildcards to use in any group you like.
Some tough choices in these groups. The 31 is one of my favourite locos in the game and to have that facing off against the 87 is a tough one!
