Bob,

If you're the Bob Boudreau I think you are, and I think you are . .. you're a Master Model Railroader in my book already!

IF I had a vote, I'd vote for Bob being a Master Model Railroader already.

For all interested parties: There is now a Modeler's License available! Go back to the general discussion index and look for that topic. Or follow this link:

When you get yor modelers license, pick up a few Round Toits. They will come in handy.

FEC sells Round Toits by the box with their Models Licence, about a dozen per box.[:D][:D]

I bet some of those Master Model Builder guys have a Modeler's License somewhere! lol.

They'd better check the expiration date. I got pulled over last week by the RCMP (Rivet Counting Model Police) and discovered that my modeler's license had expired.

Now I have to take the test.

Has to be issued by the RailRoad that your modeling, right now it's the UP.[:D]

[darth9x9]

You should have received your modeler's license in the first kit that you purchased. I just had mine renewed last week!

Ed,
You are so right.... my apologies. But, you see, I am a diesel fan as that is what I run on my layout. Now, please feel free to do as I am, but with steam!!

Hey wait a minute, why should Modeler's Licenses be good just for diseasel fans? We steam fans need to legitimize our efforts too! [:D]

I may just play with some programs on my computer and see if I can get a good Diesel pic and shrink it to fit and put in some wording for a license.

David,

How bout you get a Modeler's License suitable for framing with each subscription? Maybe you could check a box on the subscription form that would include whose signature you'd like on yours. Or make it something you could order from Kalmbach via their website. I'd love to have one hanging on my wall!

We need to make modeler's licences- something humorous.
Don't tell the state of Minnesota, thought. Uncle Tim'll slap 4 year renewals on it, make you take eye/hearing exams, and charge you $37.50 for it.
Good times.

A Modeller's License sounds like a great item for next April's MR. Any of the staff reading this?

The link does not work, it appears to be a path to a file on your personal computer (it shows up in my reply window). It doesn't work that way - you have to post something on a website and then post the link.

Abosolutely, Paul,
I keep my modeling liciense and my round toits in the same sleeve in my wallet. I always renew the modeling liciense before it expires. Of course the round toits never go out of date.
Have Fun,

Tim,

Hmmmm Good question. Seems like the president of your railroad might be a bit of a grouch. Perhaps you need to suck up some more. Go buy some brand new rolling stock or one of those silky smooth engines. When he/she starts drooling, then say "oops, it isn't prototypcial for your era or geographic region." You'll get your license!

[Anonymous]

what if ur president says no?

[Anonymous]

JPowell,

You got that right. NO ONE has more fun on doing the model railroad thing than me! But I'm sure each and every one of us thinks the same thing - if not we wouldn't be here!!

I'm amazed nobody's made a printable "Modeller's License" to do just that with - frame it and put it on the wall!

Modeller's License is a wonderful thing - it allows me to run an Erie-Built on bilevel commuter cars (fiction: The Erie has been re-engined and has HEP fitted), or to have F-units hauling double stack cars (the museum sometimes use their locos on revenue freights for industries on the line). I do think it's important to have a story handy to explain the more unusual consists and scenes though - modelling a museum is one trick and the one I use. Having said that, I'm still trying to explain the SP SD9 seen hauling Metra bilevels recently...

[mikebonellisr]

Sounds like a great gimmick to have framed and hung in your train room.

I went to get my modeler license and the lady at the DMR(Department of model railroads) told me I had to provide 2 forms of ID and a urine sample and come back on the second Teusday of next week and take the written exam and get a temporary packet.
then she said I could only use the Temp while under direct supervision of a licensed modeler. man they sure are harsh.

Nothing wrong with unrealistic or implausable layouts if it serves its purpose, that is to entertain and satisfy its creator.

Whimsey run amok may be a violation of modeler's license but perfectly acceptable if the operator is in possession of a poetic license.

Wayne

That may be true, but the original question was "What exactly is it, how do you get one and if you have one what does it allow you to do?" That's the context in which I framed my answer.

And by chance would that be a Cracker Jack box?

Priceless, Don't leave home without it!
