Evidence from who? YOU have to provide the evidence, and in this case we can’t see the wheels from the photo YOU provided.
Please don’t use others posts as a way to gain your points or get your way
The locomotive is identified by its number 52044
There is plenty of evidence it is a x-6-x
The entry asks for a photo of the locomotive it does not say wheels specifically
This entry should stand
No doubt ChallCom will not appreciate this input and probably delete it “again” but it is valid

I’m afraid not as my battery was running low, I just get a bit miffed when the wheels cannot be see on some others but you know they are there due to the shape, size etc.
I know for most of us it’s a bit of fun but the fact I’d travelled so far, it didn’t go down well unfortunately as you might expect.
I genuinely thought they were referring to a type of train and not that you had to show all 6 wheels
Oh well the gods have spoken, it just leaves a bit of a sour taste in my mouth and makes me less enthusiastic to get any more.
Thank you for your support @Steviegeek

Which anyone with photoshop skills can do

Where? We can’t see the wheels
It is up to the entrant to provide the evidence, not for ChallCom to go looking for it? Or for other members to point it out to us.
The main point is for:
3. A Steam Locomotive - x-6-x configuration ( six driving wheels). A photo of, as set out in the rules.
If the photo does not clearly show the main objective then how can we award the points?
However, we shall throw this one into the bunker and have a chat
I want to be first to say @TallTakes Paul, please don’t be discouraged. I enjoy seeing the photos, videos and panos you post, including the ones in this compo.
Thank you @BadManners
I’m not normally the type of person to throw the teddy out of the pram but I must admit I was tying a piece of elastic to it on this occasion!

St. Michael’s Churchyard, Dumfries & Robert Burns Mausoleum - Mini 3 Pro - 10/08/2023 @ 14:50
I claim 3 points please.
On the morning of 21 July 1796, Burns died in Dumfries, at the age of 37. The funeral took place on Monday 25 July 1796, the day that his son Maxwell was born. He was at first buried in the far corner of St. Michael’s Churchyard in Dumfries; a simple “slab of freestone” was erected as his gravestone by Jean Armour, which some felt insulting to his memory. His body was eventually moved to its final location in the same cemetery, the Burns Mausoleum, in September 1817. The body of his widow Jean Armour was buried with his in 1834
