miniCHALLENGE 02 / RailClone / Spotlight 01

The RailClone miniCHALLENGE has had some super cool entries made recently by newke, BBB3 and NacheX. All three show what RailClone is capable of, even things you would not think of at first as the chosen plugin naming is rather limiting.

With 3 more weeks to go – You have enough time to join and showcase what you can do with RailClone and have a chance at taking one of the prizes.

Have Fun & Good Luck to you all!
