[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by FundyNorthern I can agree with the tangible items you get from the NMRA, as I now belong as an associate member and don't get the Bulletin; its only about $21 a year. But the point I was making re the Achievement Program is that you have the opportunity to have your scratchbuilding skills evaluated by qualified modelers, and thus improve your skills and have proof that you can offer advice to others. To obtain AP certificates for Master Builder - Cars, Structures, Locomotives, and Scenery you have to demonstrate your skills as most require a great deal of scratchbuilding effort to qualify. They also require that you acquire points in NMRA contests where you compete against others. You may be the greatest scratchbuilder around, but how can you demonstrate it to others when your work may never have been compared to the work of others? I served as the Achievment Program Chairman for the NMRA's NER region for five years, so I have seen examples of others' work. I have also earned all of the above awards myself (except Locomotives - I still have to scratchbuild one!), so I have experience in this matter. I have also had many articles printed in the hobby press. Please keep us advised on your publication progress! Bob Boudreau Canada [/quote] Ok. Thank you for your insights. I will keep this in mind and look further into it. James
