All the info is on the Walthers web site.

I was thinking about it, but, you have to build a diorama, they give you different sizes.  It's like building part of modular layout.

If this was for an individual modeling project, such as a locomotive, or frieght car, or a structure, I would consider.

An acquaintance sent me a link to it, but I'm undecided, partly because I can't view the requirements for entering (I don't belong to the NMRA), and partly because I'm about to start a project to build 17 head-end baggage/express/mail cars for myself and a couple of friends.  It might be a suitable project for that venue, but I doubt that I could finish it in whatever time is alloted, as I'm a slow worker, partly due to the research needed, and for gathering the parts that will be needed, which were ordered a couple days ago.

I'll not likely participate, as competition is a concept foreign to me...I'd rather simply enjoy doing the work and have the satisfaction of fulfilling my friends' requests, regardless of how long it takes.
